Write research on how emoticons and emojis differ in the interpretation of text messages in online communication. The paper should include the standard sections of a research paper: abstract, keywords, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, and references. The acknowledgements section is optional.I already worked on methods and results (please use that information in the paper). I am completely stuck with my paper and the teacher is not very helpful either, so I will use your work as inspiration to give me an idea how it should be done. You can use any academic source you want but it needs to five. Methods: The experiment will be a human subject experiment and will be done through online surveys. In the surveys we show a text messages with or without emoticons or emojis to the participants. The experiment would be between-subject, as we would use three groups with their own conditions. One group would have the smileys condition, whereas smileys would be emojis that depict the same emotion as the emoticon. Another group would have the emoticon condition and a third group would have none and is therefore the control group. The main independent variable would be the text message and the dependent variables would be the understanding of the content of the text message and the feeling it would elicit in the participant. Other independent variables would be of the age, gender and nationality of the participant, anyone who uses online communication at least a few times a week can participate. An example of text message could include a sarcastic comment, as such a comment is harder to interpret without hearing tone.(this is one of the surveys that is used, just to give you an idea https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9b3KLRpC5Aa-n9IaXNQu1bnOWautwkzkzjX6PriWe8t1MSA/viewform?usp=sf_link ) Results: there were 90 participants in total by using google surveys. the age is 18-25. the nationalities are Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Norway, and Turkey.the amount of questions where the most voted answer of the control group is the same as from the experimental groups is 8 out of 15. That means that the interpretation of emotion is for 7 out of 15 accountable from emoticons and emoji’s. Therefore (at least what I thought) the analyse of the differences of interpretation by emoji and emoticons is only possible from 7 questions. From these 7 questions, the largest difference of the interpretation between emoji and emoticon seems to be at messages with sexual meaning. This was the only question where the answer of this type of message was voted by a majority, both on emoji and emoticon group (the answer on emoji was different than emoticon, therefore it has the largest difference because they were voted over 50%).The text was as follows “Do you want to come over?” and is seen as turned-on with 57.1% by adding an emoji, and is seen as mischievous with 55.2% by using an emoticon. Looking at gender there is a huge gap at using emoji; only 10% of women found the text has a turned-on meaning, while it was 64.3% for men.At nationality, the results are similar (maybe because of increased globalism?)But at age, there is a turning point at the age of 20. Respondents in the age of 18-20 showed small differences in the interpretation between emoji and emoticons, than on respondents of age 21-25 (maybe difference of generation?).
