Abstract:
|
Previous research suggests that people are more prone to commit moral transgres-sions when they face moral dilemmas in a second language (LX) as opposed to theirfirst language(s) (L1). This study investigated the influence of language, emotionalintelligence, and the degree of severity of real moral transgressions on bilinguals'judgments of offense seriousness, the intensity of the emotions they experienced,and the punishments they proposed for the perpetrators. To this end, 256 British L1users, 209 Greek–English bilinguals, and 187 Hungarian–English bilinguals watchedfour videos presenting moral transgressions of mild and extreme severity. Data wereanalyzed by means of robust linear mixed-effects models and moderated mediationanalyses. For the extreme severity videos, the results revealed strong correlationsbetween offensiveness, emotionality ratings, and proposed punishments for the per-petrators. However, the Greek and the Hungarian participants who watched thevideos in their LX English reported lower offensiveness and emotionality ratings andless harsh punishments for the perpetrators than they did in their L1 (Greek andHungarian, respectively). Furthermore, the role of language in the proposed punish-ments for the perpetrators was mediated by emotional intensity, but only for theextreme severity stimuli. The results also suggest that higher levels of emotionalintelligence are linked with tougher judgments of offense seriousness and strongeremotions when watching real moral transgressions. These findings highlight that themoral foreign language effect does not only exist in the hypothetical moral realm butaffects perceptions of offensiveness and emotionality and decisions for the future ofperpetrators in real-life situations.
