Text Interpretation and Mood: Is Happiness an Indicator? Academic Article uri icon

Abstract

  • Text and e-mail are widely open to (mis)inter-pretation by the recipient. It is widely accepted that humor, sarcasm, double entendres do not work well or are interpreted correctly without the smile, tone, or expression given by the sender. This paper looks at the “mood” or level of happiness of the recipient in the correct interpretation of a text or email message.
