摘要

结合建构水平理论,基于多项式加工树构建算法,通过3个实验验证道德外语效应,并尝试探究道德外语效应的可能机制及其边界。实验1的结果表明中文为母语、英文为外语的个体的道德判断受语言的影响。与母语条件相比,外语条件下个体的道义论道德判断更少。实验2的结果进一步表明心理距离可以完全中介语言对道德判断的影响。实验3发现外语熟练度可以调节语言对心理距离的影响。研究结果再次验证了道德外语效应,并表明心理距离的中介作用和外语熟练度的调节作用,拓展了道德外语效应发生机制的可能解释。

Abstract

Previous findings of the moral foreign-language effect (MFLE) were not consistent. In recent years, Gawronski’s team developed a CNI model to analyze moral judgment. Combining the construal-level theory (CLT) with the CNI model, this study first answered the controversial question of whether the MFLE existed or not, and then attempted to explore the possible mechanism and condition of the effect. The results of Experiment 1 showed that compared with NL, participants who made the moral judgment in the FL had a higher ratio of utilitarian judgment. The results of Experiment 2 indicated that when the utilitarian tendency was taken as the indicator of moral judgment, language could indirectly influence individuals’ moral judgments through the completely mediating effect of psychological distance. In Experiment 3, the results showed that foreign language proficiency moderated the first part of the mediation model, that is, the influence of language on psychological distance. The results reveal the significant influence of language on moral judgment, and verify the mediating role of psychological distance and the moderating role of foreign language proficiency, which expands the possible explanation of the mechanism of the MFLE.
