Selfies, styrkekramar och avsked : Analys av ensamma svenskars självskattning utifrån femfaktormodellen

Sammanfattning: This bachelor's thesis aimed to analyze how Swedish people going through solitude join support groups online and how they classified themselves on the big five model (shortened FFM) and if there are certain factors that lay a role in who decides to join the support group(s) online. By joining the support groups on social media forums and recruiting participants from within, the participants were able to fill out an online form where they could fill in how they classified themselves on every factor of the big five model with points ranging from 1-5. The main result showed that participants from support groups for lonely people reported significantly higher levels of Agreeableness compared to other factors. Also the levels of Openness were higher than Extraversion.
