The Psychology of Emoji Processing

This book draws together the scientific research on how we process and interpret emoji. Most books on the subject of emoji explain how we use emoji and the functions they serve for the sender, but very do very little to address the receiver's perspective. Seeking to redress this, this book extracts insights from a range of psychology sub-disciplines to provide a comprehensive review of current research on how we process emoji. The book also includes recommended theoretical frameworks and methodologies to help researchers in this area to strengthen their research, as a way of helping advance the research field on this fascinating topic.

Focuses on the subject of emoji from the receiver's standpoint Consolidates insights from range of disparate sub-disciplines in psychology Includes recommended theoretical frameworks and methodologies to support researchers
