A recent study from Oklahoma State University explored the connection between emoji use and personality traits, particularly the Dark Triad traits: psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. The researchers surveyed 285 undergraduates, analyzing their emoji habits and personality questionnaires. Findings revealed that men who frequently use emojis often display Machiavellian traits and higher neuroticism levels, while women’s heavy emoji use is linked to narcissism. The study emphasized that emojis are often utilized for self-promotion, which ties back to these personality tendencies, highlighting that women used a wider variety of emojis compared to men.
The use of emojis can reveal hidden aspects of personality; frequent emoji users may have traits linked to the Dark Triad, such as narcissism and Machiavellianism.
In a study by Oklahoma State University, it was found that men's frequent emoji usage correlates with higher neuroticism and Machiavellian traits, while women's use relates to narcissism.
Emojis serve not just for expression, but also for self-promotion and image management, indicating a potential link to narcissistic behaviors especially among women.
The research indicated that women utilize a broader range of emojis than men, with a notable frequency in expressing both positivity and negativity in their digital communications.
