Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference of KakaoTalk-emoticon cognition and understanding in adolescents with developmental disabilities (AWDD) and normal adolescents (NA).
Methods: For survey analysis and two type of emoticon comprehension tests, we selected an AWDD group (N=20) and a NA group (N=20) who were in the same age group. Two types of evaluations were made to assess the understanding of the emoticon of the two groups at the AWDD group’s expression language age average level. We also asked a response to the questionnaire on the use of emoticon for both groups.
Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in the results of the questionnaire on the perception and usage patterns of the KakaoTalk-emoticons. The results of two evaluations of the understanding of KakaoTalk-emoticons using auditory and visual cues showed that the NA group scored 3.35-3.5 points higher on average than the AWDD group.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to encourage AWDDs to understand and express the correct emotions by providing them with education related to the understanding and use of emoticons.
