Self-construal and emotion in bicultural bilinguals

Article Abstract:

A study predicting that language mediates self-construal in bilinguals and that bilingual narratives are more individualistic when speaking a language associated with an individualistic culture and more collectivist when associated with a collectivist culture is presented. Apart from self-construal the effect of individualism-collectivism on emotional valence in bicultural bilinguals is studied by comparing autobiographical memories retrieved by bi-cultural Russian-English bilinguals across languages.
