Examining the effects of reciprocal emoji use on interpersonal and communicatio...
Cavalheiro, B. P.; Prada, M.; Rodrigues, D. L.Research has shown that emoji can determine how interlocutors who use emoji are perceived (e.g., warmer) and can help complement written communication (e.g., clarify the meaning of a message). We argue that reciprocal emoji use may be particularly beneficial for user perceptions and communication outcomes. In two experiments (N = 568), we examined if using emoji, and reciprocating emoji use, in a work context (...
Crossmodal interactions between audition and taste: A systematic review and nar...
Guedes, D.; Garrido, M. V.; Lamy, E.; Cavalheiro, B. P.; Prada, M.Taste perception results from integrating all the senses. In the case of audition, research shows that people can associate certain auditory parameters (e.g., pitch) with basic tastes. Likewise, the surrounding sonic environment (e.g., noise, music) may influence individuals’ evaluation of the taste attributes of foods and drinks. This paper presents the first pre-registered systematic examination of the litera...
Who (and with whom) uses more emoji? Exploring individual, relational, and moti...
Cavalheiro, B. P.; Rodrigues, D. L.; Prada, M.Emoji use, despite being pervasive in digital communication, is often dependent on individual characteristics (e.g., gender, age, personality), relational dimensions (e.g., intimacy with specific others), motives for using them (e.g., because emoji allow to better express emotions), and the context in which they are used (e.g., emoji use is considered more appropriate with closer interlocutors, such as friends)...
Emoji as icebreakers? Emoji can signal distinct intentions in first time online...
Rodrigues, D. L.; Cavalheiro, B. P.; Prada, M.Very few studies have examined if emoji play a role in first-time interactions and whether their use conveys information about relationship initiation intentions. In two experimental studies (N = 758), we explored if using different emoji to initiate interactions with strangers on Facebook and Tinder were perceived to signal distinct intentions from the sender (Studies 1 and 2) and which emoji (if any) would be...
With or without Emoji? Perceptions about Emoji use in different brand-consumer ...
Cavalheiro, B. P.; Prada, M.; Rodrigues, D. L.; Garrido, M. V.; Lopes, D.Brands are increasingly using emoji in their computer-mediated communication (CMC). However, research on how consumers perceive such use, and the determinants of those perceptions, is scarce and results may be inconsistent. In a cross-sectional study () we examined how appropriate participants considered to be the use of emoji by brands, across five brand-consumer communication contexts. We additionally examine...
Evaluating the adequacy of emoji use in positive and negative messages from clo...
Cavalheiro, B. P.; Prada, M.; Rodrigues, D. L.; Lopes, D.; Garrido, M. V.Computer-mediated communication allows people to communicate across several contexts (e.g., friends, professional settings) by using video-based or text-based channels. In the latter case, communication lacks nonverbal cues (e.g., tone of voice) that are critical to message interpretation. Including emoji can help express emotion and reinforce or clarify the meaning of a message. However, the benefits of using ...
Examining the relationship between sugar content, packaging features, and food ...
Prada, M.; Saraiva, M.; Viegas, C.; Cavalheiro, B. P.; Garrido, M. V.Excessive free-sugar intake has become highly prevalent in numerous countries, and Portugal is not the exception. One product category that contributes to the daily intake of free sugars is breakfast cereals. In the current work, we identified 289 exemplars from two major retailers in Portugal and collected information on their nutritional profile (e.g., sugar, salt, fiber per 100 g), price, packaging features,...
