public_emoji_eye_tracking_data_2022

The dataset consists of two sets of eye-tracking data (two experiments) and results from a survey. The eye-tracking data consisted of observations for 53 participants × 10 different sentences × 4 conditions in the first experiment, and × 3 conditions in the second one. Data from two participants had to be removed, in one case because of too few valid fixations within the AoIs, i.e. very high skipping probability, and in the other because the emoji seemed to be skipped systematically. The data re the results of readings experiments in which participants are asked to read emoji in sentence contexts in different conditions. In the survey, the participants were asked to fill in a questionnaire on their language proficiency and use, as well as their use of emoji in texting including preferences for different emoji interpretations.
