'Moral foreign language effect - claims we have never made' (response to commentary by Bialek and Fugelsang, in press)

摘要

The moral foreign language effect has been investigated with increased interest with both evidence for as well as against it being demonstrated. In a recent publication, Bialek and Fugelsang (in press) critically evaluated our previous publication (Cavar and Tytus, 2017) aiming to establish boundaries of this effect. In the current reply, we address the criticism and encourage further investigation of this phenomenon with groups of participants who experienced the atrocities of war, accounting for factors, such as language proficiency, amount of language and culture exposure and/or degree of acculturation, which can mediate the degree of emotionality.
