Abstract:
In online learning, emotional support for the learner is important for increasing learning effectiveness. Graphical symbols, such as emoticons, work as emotional expressions in text-based online interactions. This study focuses on “stickers”, a new form of graphical expression. Using questionnaires, we asked participants how frequently they used stickers to express seven types of emotions. This study examined the effects of gender and text-messaging dependency on frequency of sticker use for expressing emotions in text messaging. As a result, the effects of gender and dependency were confirmed.
