| The present study aimed to validate the Persian Emoji Lexicon (PEL) and examinegender and cultural differences in the perception of the affective properties ofselected emoji’s. The study consisted of two phases: emoji selection and an onlinesurvey. First, we identified the 109 most frequently used emoji’s on Twitter. In thesecond phase, we assessed emotion and valence ratings from a sample of 200 Xusers (140 females; 27.3 ± 3.5 years). Of the 109 selected emoji’s, 90 wereperceived as having a positive valence. Gender comparisons revealed that womenrated significantly higher emotional intensity across all eight emotion dimensionscompared to men. We also compared our findings with a similar database validatedamong Canadians. The inter-rater reliability for emoji valence ratings betweenIranian and Canadian participants showed a fair level of agreement (Kappacoefficient = 0.357), while also highlighting significant cultural differences inemotion perception. This database serves as a valuable resource for sentimentanalysis of social media texts containing emoji’s, as well as for practicalapplications where emoji’s function as emotional cues to influence behavior (e.g.,in marketing and education) | ||
