This is a pilot study to develop two questionnaires on instant messenger (IM) use and personality traits among young people. The target ages were 15, 18, and 21. In Study 1, a web survey (N = 300) was conducted, and factor analysis revealed that IM use scale had a four-scale structure: use of LINE, concern, use of emojis and stickers, and use of Instagram. In Study 2, web surveys (N = 267) examined scales of empathy, conformity, and cognitive failure developed in previous studies. The result of factor analysis revealed that the scale of empathy needed to be improved once again. Further study will be conducted by changing the measurement period and participants, and the scales will be developed.
