Abstract

Foreign language can either enhance decision-making by triggering more deliberation or worsen it due to cognitive overload. We tested these two hypotheses in one response bias: acquiescence. In three experiments, 413 participants made dichotomous decisions about whether 100 personality traits described them or not. Participants showed more acquiescence in a foreign language (vs. native), giving more certifying responses when deciding on known traits. Reaction time results suggest that a foreign language particularly impacts rejection more than certification of their comprehension. These findings support the cognitive overload hypothesis and provide valuable insights for the influence of language on response bias.

揭示外语对默许的作用
外语既可以通过引发更多的深思熟虑来提高决策能力,也可以由于认知负担过重而降低决策能力。我们在一个反应偏差中测试了这两个假设:默许。在三项实验中,413 名参与者就 100 种人格特质是否描述了自己做出了二分决策。在外语(与母语相比)中,参与者表现出更多的默许,在对已知特质做出决定时给出了更多的证明性回答。反应时间结果表明,外语对拒绝的影响大于对其理解的认证。这些发现支持了认知超载假说,并为语言对反应偏差的影响提供了宝贵的见解。
