Foreign language effect on the judgment of bullshit
Apstrakt
The present study investigates the cognitive processing of
nonsense, namely bullshit statements, in the context of the foreign
language effect (FLE). We aimed to investigate if there is an FLE
on the profundity assessment (PA) of bullshit statements and
whether it could be attributed to emotional valence (EV)? Two pilot
studies were conducted to create the necessary materials for the
experiment. In the first study, we created a database of words in
English and Serbian and collected lexical norms to control and
manipulate the statement properties. Using the word database and
the custom-made software, we created 480 bullshit and everyday
statements, which were then evaluated by EV and imageability in
the second study. The English statements were rated as more
imaginable than their Serbian equivalents (F (1, 71) = 59.111,
p<.01, η2 = .055). In the main studies (N1=96; N2=95), participants
rated the statements by profundity. Results suggest that there is no
FLE on the PA of ...bullshit when the evaluators are highly proficient
in their L2, but in the less proficient participants, a FLE was found
(F (1, 94) = 4.917, p<.05, η2 = .004). The FLE on the PA of bullshit
was affected by EV (F (2, 94) = 3.462, p<.05, η2 = .002).
