A study from Oklahoma State University suggests that emoji usage can provide insights into personality traits. Surveying 285 undergraduates, researchers found that heavy emoji use in men correlated with manipulative behavior, while women used emojis to shape positive self-perceptions. The study also highlights concerns for parents regarding children's emoji use, suggesting that emojis could convey hidden meanings or messages, which raises the necessity for parents to be vigilant about their implications in digital communication.
Emoji use may be related to strategies to manipulate the perceptions of others and to present a positive impression of oneself.
The unregulated internet can be very dangerous for our children, as certain emojis could convey secretive messages.
