- Abstract
Since the discovery of the Stroop effect, researchers have conducted in-depth exploration on it from various angles, but the impact of language on it is not very clear. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the different languages effects on the Stroop effect of Chines-English bilinguals based on the modified Stroop test. Chinese and English versions of Stroop test were used to test the reaction of 30 Chinese native speakers (14 males and 16 females) who were proficient in English. Participants will be shown with 10 English words and then 10 Chinese words. After a 1-minine-breake, 10 Chinese words and 10 English words will be shown. According to the analysis, the main effect of language type was significant, and participants took longer to respond correctly to the Stroop task in the second language version than in the native language version. Moreover, the main effect of word color consistency and the interaction between them were not significant. This study revealed that language type had a significant impact on the results of Stroop task. Future research should further explore the impact mechanism and compare the results between Stroop tasks using different language versions or based on different cultural backgrounds. These results shed light for how language types affected Stroop effect and offer a guideline for the relationship between bilinguals and Stroop effect.
