Resum
It may seem reasonable to think that our moral decisions (and selves) do not depend on which language we are using (native or foreign). However, recent evidence suggests that the language in which decision information is presented affects subsequent choices. The use of a foreign language, compared to a native one, leads to an increase in utilitarian choices in particularly difficult or emotional decisions. Possible mechanisms are discussed.Descripció
