Say No to Smileys

August 29, 2017

We know you’re jsut trying to look friendly, but those smileys you keep adding into your emails?  They are making you look stupid.

“Our findings provide first-time evidence that, contrary to actual smiles, smileys do not increase perceptions of warmth and actually decrease perceptions of competence,” says Dr Ella Glikson from Ben-Gurion University. Is it better to come off a little cool? Or like an idiot? Probably the former 🙂 .
