Yes. Personality traits shape users’ expectations, preferences, behaviors, and interpretations, and thus materially affect user experience (UX). Key effects include:

• Perception and interpretation: Traits (e.g., openness, neuroticism) influence how users perceive design elements, risk, novelty, and ambiguity.
• Interaction style: Extraversion, conscientiousness, and impulsivity affect willingness to explore, persistence, and error recovery strategies.
• Affective response: Neuroticism and agreeableness modulate emotional reactions to frustration, praise, or personalization.
• Decision-making and goals: Traits influence preferences for guidance vs. autonomy, speed vs. thoroughness, and social features (e.g., sharing).
• Customization and satisfaction: Matching interface complexity, feedback style, and social cues to personality can increase usability, engagement, and retention.

Empirical support: HCI and UX research link Big Five traits to task performance, preference for control vs. automation, and tolerance for ambiguity (e.g., Li et al., 2010; Clemmensen et al., 2017). For design practice, consider persona segmentation, adaptive interfaces, and optional personalization.
