Tung and Deng (2007) studied how emoticons (computerized facial expressions) and sex influenced intrinsic motivation to complete a computer task. Emoticons were used as feedback for responses during the task. These faces were either static (presented still for the duration of feedback) or dynamic (presented as a neutral face and changed to the expression corresponding to the feedback). The researchers conducted a 2 × 2 between-subjects ANOVA, with emoticon style (static, dynamic) and sex as the factors. The F table gives the data reported in the study.
