Big-Five Backstage: A Dramatic Dataset for Characters Personality Traits & Gender Analysis

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel textual dataset comprising fictional characters’ lines with annotations based on their gender and Big-Five personality traits. Using psycholinguistic findings, we compared texts attributed to fictional characters and real people with respect to their genders and personality traits. Our results indicate that imagined personae mirror most of the language categories observed in real people while demonstrating them in a more expressive manner.
