This study examined several dimensions of personality (extroversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism) as advanced by Eysenck and Eysenck (1985) and their relationship to nonverbal immediacy. It was found that extraversion was positively correlated with nonverbal immediacy and that neuroticism and psychoticism were negatively correlated with nonverbal immediacy. These results support the argument that personality plays an influential role in how people communicate.
