Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is pervasive in our lives, influencing social interaction including human courtship. To connect with potential partners via CMC, modern relationship-seekers must master faster and shorter methods of communicating self-disclosure and affect. Although CMC can lack crucial sensory information in this context, emojis may provide useful aid. Across two studies, we assessed attitudes toward and frequency of emoji use, and whether signaling affect via emoji use relates to more romantic and sexual opportunities. Our findings suggest that emoji use with potential partners is associated with maintaining connection beyond the first date, and more romantic and sexual interactions over the previous year. This research provides evidence that emojis convey important affective information to potential partners, and are potentially associated with more successful intimate connection. Implications for multiple theoretical models and methodologies are discussed.

值得一千个人际交往的词：表情符号作为面向关系的数字通信的情感信号。

计算机介导的交流（CMC）在我们的生活中无处不在，影响着包括人类求爱在内的社会互动。为了通过CMC与潜在的合作伙伴建立联系，现代的寻求关系者必须掌握更快和更短的自我披露和情感交流方法。尽管在这种情况下CMC可能缺少关键的感官信息，但表情符号可能会提供有用的帮助。在两项研究中，我们评估了对表情符号使用的态度和频率，以及通过表情符号使用产生的信号影响是否与更多的浪漫和性机会有关。我们的研究结果表明，与潜在伴侣的表情符号使用与首次约会后的保持联系有关，并且比上一年更加浪漫和性互动。这项研究提供了证据，表明表情符号可以将重要的情感信息传达给潜在的合作伙伴，并可能与更成功的亲密关系相关联。讨论了对多种理论模型和方法论的启示。
