    "abstract": "Recent work suggests that people think more systematically when using a second language because second languages\nare less automatic or emotionally valenced. Here, we use a different population (from India) to further investigate this\npossibility. We also test whether nuanced factors like language proficiency, usage context, and age of acquisition affect the\ndegree to which people show a foreign language effect. We do not find a strong difference between native and second language\nspeakers. However, we do find a more nuanced effect of language proficiency: people who are more proficient in the target\nlanguage show more loss aversion. We also find that proficient English speakers are more willing to take on risk in both experiments,\nsuggesting that English, itself, may lead people to think differently – possibly because it is a highly agentive language\nor because it is associated with individualistic cultural values.",
