Abstract Emojis were suggested for children to be used to measure food-elicited emotions. The present study was aimed to explore the appropriateness of emojis to describe pre-adolescents’ emotions elicited by foods recalled in relation to different evoked eating contexts and to explore related age- and gender differences. Fifty-five boys and forty-one girls aged 9–13 participated to the study. First, subjects were asked to recall, by means of an open-ended question, the foods they had in specific eating contexts: “Most liked food” and “Most disliked food”, “Breakfast”, “Dinner”, “Snack”, “Birthday” and “Novel food”. Then, they were asked to select the emojis appropriate to describe their feelings for the context-related foods by selecting from a list of 92 facial emojis (CATA method). Emojis selected by more than 20% of children in at least one eating context qualified as food-related. In total, 46 emojis resulted as appropriate to describe emotions in different eating contexts. Pre-adolescents used mainly positive emojis, except for the context “Most disliked food”, where mainly negative emojis were used. Most food-related emojis resulted from “Most liked food” and “Most disliked food”, but the context “Birthday” also added some context-specific emojis. The number of selected emojis varied across evoked eating contexts eliciting different foods. Age and gender significantly affected emoji selection across and within foods elicited by varied eating contexts, with girls and 9–11-year-old subjects selecting some emojis more frequently across all contexts, but also within contexts. The approach used in the present study has the potential to be used for the development of a food-related emotion measurement tool for pre-adolescents. Future research aimed at interpreting the meaning of facial emojis is needed and should consider age- and gender differences.

儿童在不同饮食环境中选择表情符号来表达食物引发的情绪

摘要 建议儿童使用表情符号来衡量食物引起的情绪。本研究旨在探索表情符号在描述与不同诱发饮食环境相关的食物回忆所引起的青春期前情绪的适当性,并探讨相关的年龄和性别差异。55 名 9-13 岁的男孩和 41 名女孩参加了这项研究。首先,受试者被要求通过一个开放式问题回忆他们在特定饮食环境中所吃的食物:“最喜欢的食物”和“最不喜欢的食物”、“早餐”、“晚餐”、“小吃”、 “生日”和“新奇食物”。然后,他们被要求通过从 92 个面部表情符号(CATA 方法)的列表中选择合适的表情符号来描述他们对上下文相关食物的感受。超过 20% 的儿童在至少一种符合食物相关的饮食环境中选择的表情符号。总共产生了 46 个表情符号,用于描述不同饮食环境中的情绪。青春期前的孩子主要使用积极的表情符号,除了“最不喜欢的食物”上下文之外,主要使用消极的表情符号。大多数与食物相关的表情符号来自“最喜欢的食物”和“最不喜欢的食物”,但上下文“生日”也添加了一些特定于上下文的表情符号。所选表情符号的数量在引发不同食物的诱发饮食环境中有所不同。年龄和性别显着影响了由不同饮食环境引起的食物之间和食物内的表情符号选择,女孩和 9-11 岁的受试者在所有上下文中更频繁地选择一些表情符号,但也在上下文中。本研究中使用的方法有可能用于为青春期前儿童开发与食物相关的情绪测量工具。未来的研究旨在解释面部表情符号的含义,并应考虑年龄和性别差异。
