      The results showed that on average, the participantsscored 0.02 higher on Negative Emotionality while takingthe personality test in English, compared to their firstSlavic language, the mean scores being 3.19 and 3.17,respectively. Since it was assumed that the participantswould score higher on Negative Emotionality in their firstSlavic language and the results showed the opposite, theydid not provide evidence to support the hypothesis

      I wonder if this is a result of anxiety or impatience while speaking the second language (English) or a result of the cultural values and implications woven into the language and its structure.

      Considering all languagesand cultures have vastly different experiences regardingpersonality and knowledge of the language, we thought itwas a needed addition to the field of linguistics

      A fun anecdote - I spent several months in South Korea and noticed the cultural factors of the Korean language changing my behavior when I spoke it. I often would get home and think "Why was I acting so reserved? I didn't feel anxious." I attribute this to the much less individualistic culture in Korea compared to the hyper-individualistic culture of America, which is absolutely ingrained into the fabric of both languages.

      n contrast,those learned later in life may rely to a greater degree ondeclarative memory and thus produce weak responsesand a feeling of detachment,

      Is there a difference in the personality score between those who learned their second language later in life versus those who grew up with both?

      . The study finds that when peopledescribe their personalities in languages other than theirnative ones, they often use words that suggest they feelfake, artificial, or like they’re putting on an act

      Is this due to the feeling that the speaker cannot find the adequate word or a form of imposter syndrome via simply not feeling confident with the language?

      people are likely to displaydifferent personality traits depending on the languagethey are speaking - their L1 or L2. Bilingual individuals oftenreport feeling or behaving differently when speaking intheir L1 compared to their L2

      This is the anecdotal evidence I have experienced and heard from. I am curious how those who report this phenomenon occurring for themselves compare to those who do not? Do they test higher?

      Extraversion and Open-Mindedness were significantly higher in L1

      If scores for Extraversion and Open-Mindedness are more prevelant in a speaker's first language, does it represent cultural values or simply an increase in anxiety / lack of confidence while speaking in a second language?

      this difference was not statisticallysignificant (p = 0.355). Interestingly, scores for Extraversion and Open-Mindedness were significantly higher in L1, suggestingthat personality expression may vary depending on the language of use, potentially influenced by cultural and cognitivefactors.
