Introduction:
This study examined the associations between individual- and group-level relational mobility and the Big Five personality traits, along with demographic variables and macro-level variables, targeting 5048 people in all 47 Japanese prefectural capitals.
Methods:
The study controlled for macro-level variables such as total population, population change rate, population density per 1 km2 of habitable area, number of incoming residents, and number of outgoing residents in each prefectural capital, which previous studies have not examined.
Results:
Multilevel regression analysis revealed that extraversion was positively associated with both individual- and group-level relational mobility.
Conclusion:
The present study showed that specific features of the social environment (relational mobility) are positively associated with specific aspects of Big Five personality traits.
