Emoji-Text Mismatches: Stirring the Pot of Online Conversations

Abstract:

We present an ongoing experimental study of how people respond to commonly observed text-emoji patterns in online text-based chats. Using the Dialogue Experimental Toolkit (DiET; Healey et al. 2003), experiments are conducted to compare responses to the same message followed by emojis of opposite emotional valences.
