Title (croatian) Efekt stranog jezika i odlučivanje o moralu Title (english) Foreign language eff ect and moral decision making Author Mirjana Tonković Author Francesca Dumančić Author Maja Anđel Author's institution University of Zagreb Author's institution University of Zagreb Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Scientific / art field, HUMANISTIC SCIENCES Abstract (croatian) Efekt stranoga jezika odnosi se na razlike u ishodima procesa donošenja odluka ovisno o tome odvija li se on na materinskom ili stranom jeziku. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati postoji li efekt stranog jezika na procjenjivanje etičnosti postupanja u različitim situacijama, odnosno ispitati utječe li jezik na kojem je moralna dilema prezentirana na procjene prihvatljivosti kršenja moralnih normi. Moralne dileme upotrijebljene u istraživanju opisivale su širok raspon situacija: od onih s kojima se susrećemo u svakodnevnom životu pa do situacija u kojima je potrebno odlučivati o životima ljudi, a razlikovale su se i s obzirom na to koliko su teški moralni prekršaji koje opisuju. U istraživanju su sudjelovali studenti germanistike Filozofskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, koji su po slučaju raspodijeljeni u dvije skupine, jednu koja je ispunjavala upitnike na hrvatskom jeziku i drugu koje je ispunjavala upitnike na njemačkom jeziku. Istraživanje se sastojalo od tri dijela. Prvi dio činio je Upitnik svakodnevnog morala i socijalnih normi, drugi se dio sastojao od tri moralne dileme koje su opisivale moralne prekršaje različitog stupnja težine, a posljednji dio sastojao se od priča koje su opisivale situacije u kojima je bilo potrebno odlučivati o životima ljudi. Zadatak sudionika bio je procijeniti koliko je opisani postupak moralno pogrešan. Rezultati upućuju na postojanje efekta stranog jezika onda kada se radilo o blažim moralnim prekršajima i onda kada je bilo potrebno odlučivati o životima – sudionici koji su rješavali zadatke na hrvatskom jeziku procjenjivali su opisane situacije više pogrešnima od onih koji su iste zadatke rješavali na njemačkom jeziku. Efekta nije bilo u situaciji velikog moralnog prijestupa kao ni u upitniku svakodnevnog morala i socijalnih normi.
Abstract (english) Foreign language eff ect (FLE) refers to different outcomes of the decision–making process depending on whether it is carried out in a native or a foreign language. The aim of this study was to examine whether the FLE is present in the assessment of moral wrongness of behaviour in diff erent scenarios. Put differently, the aim was to examine whether the language in which the moral dilemma was presented influenced ratings of acceptability of violating moral norms. Dilemmas used in the research described a wide range of situations ranging from the ones that could be faced in everyday life to the situations in which decisions about people’s lives had to be made and diff ered in degree of violation of moral norms they described. The study participants, students of German Language and Literature from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, were divided into two groups: one group completed the questionnaire in Croatian, while the other group completed it in German. Th e questionnaire consisted of three parts: a Questionnaire of Everyday Morality and Social Norms, three moral dilemmas describing moral misdeeds of varying degrees, and scenarios describing situations in which it was necessary to decide on the lives of people. Th e task of the participant was to rate the moral wrongness of the described behaviour. Th e results show that FLE was present in mild moral offences as well as when it was necessary to decide on the lives of people – participants who assessed violating moral norms in the Croatian language rated them as less acceptable than those who assessed the same violations in German. Th e eff ect was not present for great moral off ense nor in the Questionnaire of Everyday Morality and Social Norms.
