It's not specific to text. If someone has a tendency to misconstrue others' emotions they can do that anywhere. I DO fully believe it is true for a lot if not most people, especially those that didn't grow up on text communications. Personally I'm much more emotive over text and it's much easier for me to pick up emotional cues over text (unless I happen to talk to a person that's really bad at text). And I'm pretty certain it's true for increasingly many people born in the last 20 years.
