The Use of Eye Gaze Data and Personality Traits: A Scoping Review of the Literature

摘要

This scoping review examines the use of eye movement tracking in personality research across various domains, including job interviews, education and training, human-robot interaction, and user interface design. Eye-tracking has proven effective in capturing behavioral cues linked to personality traits such as emotional responses, leadership potential, and learning preferences. To map existing research and identify prevailing use case scenarios, a systematic search was conducted in the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. From an initial pool of 170 studies, 21 met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to full-text analysis. The purpose of this review is to provide a structured overview of current research trends, methodological approaches, and application contexts. Its contribution lies in synthesizing key insights and highlighting opportunities for future research, particularly in the use of eye-tracking for advancing personalized technologies and behavior-based analytics in fields such as education, marketing, and psychological analysis.
