摘要：The general purpose of this paper is to examine the role of self-esteem in the relationship between Big Five personality traits, measured with the Big Five Inventory (John and Srivastava, 1999), and nonverbal social skills: emotional expressiveness, emotional sensitivity and emotional control, measured with the Social Skills Inventory (Riggio, 1986). The participants in this study were 303 students of Zagreb University. The results revealed the significant predictive power of Big Five personality dimensions on nonverbal social skills, and showed support for moderator and partial mediator effects of self-esteem on that relationship. Overall, the findings indicate mostly a significant role of self-esteem in the effects of neuroticism on the manifestation of nonverbal social skills.
