In an increasingly connected world, emojis have become our second language.
In an increasingly connected world, emojis have become our second language. They express our emotions, enliven our messages, and help us connect without words. But did you know that some emojis can make us happier than others?
A fascinating study published in the prestigious journal Nature analyzed the emotional reactions associated with different emojis. The study categorized the emojis into four groups: “neutral sentiment with a positive bias,” “moderately positive sentiment,” “highly positive sentiment,” and “neutral/diffuse sentiment.” ?????????
Emojis in the “positively biased neutral sentiment” group showed moderate to high levels of happiness. This group includes emojis like “Relief Face” and “Sunglasses Face.” These emojis translate to words like “great,” “happy,” and “satisfied.” It’s a good start, but we can do better! ?????????
The “moderately positive feelings” group was a step above, with emoticons evoking feelings of contentment and happiness. All the emojis in this group had a smile or smiling eyes. It’s getting interesting, isn’t it? ????
But the “highly positive feelings” group hits the jackpot! These emojis are associated with feelings of elation and excitement. Like the emoticons in the “moderately positive feelings” group, everyone in this group had the corner of their mouth turned up or their eyes were smiling. Furthermore, many of them had richer expressions, such as heart-shaped or star-shaped eyes, rosy cheeks, or bouncing hearts. The “Smiling Face with Smiling Eyes” emoji has been interpreted to mean “happy,” “feeling good,” and “excited.” ?????????
In the following graph, taken from the study, the emoticons that make you happiest are on the top right. While the ones that cause the most problems are on the top left. So the happiest emoji is ???? (“Smiley Face with Heart-Shaped Eyes”)
So next time you want to brighten someone’s day, don’t forget to send a “feeling so positive” group emoticon. And remember, the more expressive accessories (hearts, stars, rosy cheeks), the more happiness! ?????????
Whether you’re an emoji pro or a beginner, this discovery could change the way you communicate. So let’s spread some happiness with our favorite emojis!
