Reply to comment by FreddyDoLess in How Morality Changes in a Foreign Language - fascinating ethical shifts come with thinking in a different language by fonliahea1994

Well, it seems like a language effect on ethical decisionmaking definitely exists, even if the reason for it isn’t understood yet.

I haven’t read the original journal articles that this one referenced yet, but I wonder if they need to repeat the study with fluently multilingual people. That would remove the effect that the work of comprehension might have.
