Emoticons in Computer-Mediated Communication: Social Motives and Social Context (2008, unknown): “9 Strengths of the current study are the online setting, which approximates the natural setting of CMC.”
Emoticon Style: Interpreting Differences in Emoticons Across Cultures (2013, background): “The origin of emoticons is of dispute—especially for the basic smiley :)—but most studies suggest that they appeared in the early 1980s and have since gained massive popularity (Derks, Bos, and Grumbkow 2007).”
Emoticons vs. Emojis on Twitter: A Causal Inference Approach (2015, background): “…later research has shown that emoticons are not just representation of affective stances; they play many other roles in written communication such as showing author intention, sociocultural differences, and author identity (Derks, Bos, and Von Grumbkow 2007; Schnoebelen 2012; Park et al. 2013).”
Sampling Content from Online Social Networks (2015, background): “Note that prior research on sentiment analysis has shown the utility of emoticons, which frequently match the true sentiment of the writer [Derks et al. 2007].”
A longitudinal study of emoticon use in text messaging from smartphones (2012, background): “Other studies have focused on emoticon use in laboratory settings in order to better understand the influence of emoticons on interpreting messages (Derks et al., 2007; Lo, 2008; Walther & D’Addario, 2001).”
Functions of the Nonverbal in CMC: Emoticons and Illocutionary Force (2010, background): “In this article, we have applied speech act theory to the communicative function of emoticons in CMC, arguing that a general function common to many emoticons is textual indication of illocutionary force.”
The role of emotion in computer-mediated communication: A review (2008, background): “No differences between men and women were found (Derks et al., 2007).”
Emoticons and Online Message Interpretation (2008, background): “However, we do have indications that emoticons serve at least some of the same functions as actual nonverbal behavior in daily life (see Derks et al., 2007; Derks, Fischer, & Bos, in press). The paradigm used by Walther and D’Addario (2001) might be the reason for their rather disappointing results.”
