    "abstract": "This study investigates whether incongruency of valences between\nemoji and text in texting will promote stronger negative inference in\nreaders. An experiment assessed participants’ judgments of the text\nmessages by recording their response times and perceived valence\nfrom the messages (either positive or negative) under the following\nmanipulations: positive or negative messages paired with an emoji\nthat convey positive, negative or ambiguous/neutral emotions (i.e.\nthe pairing of emojis and test may be congruent or incongruent in\ntheir valences). Compared with congruent text messages, we found\nthat incongruency between emojis and texts promoted stronger\nnegative inference and elicited a longer processing time, even in\ntexts that conveyed a positive meaning or when the emoji itself was\nambiguous/neutral. These results suggest that texts and emojis\njointly influence the perceived mood of messages, hinting the\nimportance of the effective use of emojis in order to convey intended\nmeanings and emotions efficiently.",
