Researchers at Indiana University found that individuals who use a lot of emojis tend to have "advanced" emotional intelligence.

On the other hand, those who use fewer emojis were associated with "avoidant attachment." This means they protect themselves from forming emotional connections and tend to focus on themselves.

The study participants wrote in the Plos One journal on Wednesday, "This is the first study to examine emoji usage in relation to individuals' communication skills and interpersonal relationships."

Every day, more than 10 billion emojis are sent worldwide. The researchers found that women use these emojis more frequently with their friends and family than men do.

On the other hand, women with higher avoidant attachment levels send and receive fewer emojis with their friends and partners, while men with high avoidant attachment levels send fewer emojis to their partners.
