Personality and Neuroimaging Data for Blind and Sighted Participants

A dataset from a study investigating personality differences between blind and sighted individuals. The data includes assessments from 46 blind participants and 41 sighted controls, covering personality traits, social support, mobile phone usage, and multimodal neuroimaging. The research was authored by Xue Zhang and uploaded to figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing personality trait differences (agreeableness, extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism) based on vision status.
• Investigating the mediating role of perceived social support from friends on personality traits.
• Examining interactions between mobile phone usage habits and blindness on personality.
• Identifying neural correlates of personality traits using structural MRI, diffusion MRI, and resting-state fMRI data.
• Building moderated mediation models to explore how environmental factors regulate neural pathways.

Strengths

• Includes multimodal neuroimaging data (structural MRI, diffusion MRI, resting-state fMRI).
• Contains assessments from 46 blind participants and 41 sighted controls.
• Integrates personality, social, lifestyle, and neuroimaging data within a single study framework.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is 382.6 KB, indicating a limited scope of raw data.
