The structure of online social networks mirrors those in the offline world (2015, background): “Pollet et al. (2011b) examined the offline social network of heavy and casual users of internet social networking sites, and found that they did not differ.”
Personality and social networks in organizations: A review and future directions (2016, background): “Pollet et al. (2011) found that extraverts had larger networks at every network layer (support, sympathy, and outer).”
Do online social media cut through the constraints that limit the size of offline social networks? (2016, background): “In offline networks, this variance is due to personality differences (extroverts have larger networks than introverts [55]), gender (women have larger networks than men [56]) and, as we show here, age (electronic supplementary material, tables S3 and S9).”

The Relationship Between Social Support and Subjective Well-Being Across Age (2014, background): “This may be because individuals who are more extraverted generally have more friends (e.g., Demir and Weitekamp 2007; Hills and Argyle 2001; Pollet et al. 2011) and thus additional opportunities to provide support.”
Integrating Personality and Social Networks: A Meta-Analysis of Personality, Network Position, and Work Outcomes in Organizations (2015, background): “Both self-monitoring and the Big Five traits have received significant theoretical and empirical attention in the network literature (e.g., Klein et al. 2004, Mehra et al. 2001, Oh and Kilduff 2008, Pollet et al. 2011, Sasovova et al. 2010).”
