由于文化与语言之间的密切联系，许多作家认为，由于同一个体对不同文化的同化程度不同，双语者的行为也会有所不同。我们通过从印度双语(英语和印地语)大学生那里获取数据来测试这一概念，使用了一种经过充分研究的涉及情绪感知的跨文化研究范式。受试者在两个不同的阶段判断普遍的面部表情，一个完全用英语进行，另一个用印地语进行。在每一次实验中，他们判断哪种情绪被描绘出来，以及表现得有多强烈。受试者用英语比印地语更准确地识别愤怒、恐惧和悲伤。在用印地语打分时，女性愤怒照片的强度更大，而在英语打分时，女性悲伤照片的强度更大。这些发现与文化和语言之间的理论联系有关。
Because of the close connection between culture and language, a number of writers have suggested that bilinguals will differ in their behavior because of differences in the degree of assimilation of different cultures in the same individual. We tested this notion by obtaining data from bilingual (English and Hindi) college students in India using a well-studied cross-cultural research paradigm involving emotional perception. Subjects judged universal facial expressions of emotion in two separate sessions, one conducted entirely in English, the other in Hindi. In each session, they judged which emotion was being portrayed, and how intensely. Subjects recognized anger, fear, and sadness more accurately in English than in Hindi. They also attributed greater intensity to female photos of anger when rating in Hindi, but attributed greater intensity to female photos of sadness when rating in English. These findings were discussed in relation to the theoretical connection between culture and language.
