The paper explores the relationship between personality characteristics, sense of community and the structure of personal networks. We collected personal network data from 100 adults, consisting of the information about their 45 alters and ties among them. In addition to the typically used bivariate correlations to analyze the relationship between individual psychological differences and network structure, we propose first the use of typologies of networks and personality and second modified versions of the triadic census in ego-networks. The results show that different personality types tend to occupy a different kind of networks and that newly introduced triadic measures show a relatively higher association with examined psychological attributes than global network measures. Overall, the Psychological Sense of Community showed higher associations with network measures than Big Five personality traits. The former was positively correlated with measures of closed triads among alters, but also with alters embedded in triads with weak ties. Regarding personality traits, Emotional Stability was positively correlated with strong closed triads and with the overall indicator of density. The elaboration of typologies and the census of triads are shown to be effective strategies for the description of personal networks, as well as for the analysis of individual psychological differences.

个人网络和心理属性：探索个性和社区意识的个体差异及其与个人网络结构的关系

本文探讨了人格特征、社区意识和个人网络结构之间的关系。我们收集了 100 名成年人的个人网络数据，其中包括有关他们的 45 位改变和他们之间的联系的信息。除了通常使用的双变量相关性来分析个体心理差异与网络结构之间的关系外，我们首先建议使用网络和人格的类型学以及自我网络中三元普查的第二个修改版本。结果表明，不同的人格类型倾向于占据不同类型的网络，并且新引入的三元测量显示与检查的心理属性的关联性高于全局网络测量。全面的，与大五人格特质相比，社区的心理意识与网络测量的关联性更高。前者与变体之间封闭的三合会的测量呈正相关，但也与嵌入弱联系的三合会的变体呈正相关。关于人格特质，情绪稳定性与强烈的封闭三元组和密度的整体指标呈正相关。类型学的细化和三合会的普查被证明是描述个人网络以及分析个体心理差异的有效策略。情绪稳定性与强烈的封闭三元组和密度的整体指标呈正相关。类型学的细化和三合会的普查被证明是描述个人网络以及分析个体心理差异的有效策略。情绪稳定性与强烈的封闭三元组和密度的整体指标呈正相关。类型学的细化和三合会的普查被证明是描述个人网络以及分析个体心理差异的有效策略。
