Bilingual Speakers in the Lab: Psychophysiological Measures of Emotional Reactivity (2004, background): “Immigrants’ childhood memories were more emotionally charged when described in their native language (Schrauf, 2000).”
Memory for emotional words in bilinguals: Do words have the same emotional intensity in the first and in the second language? (2010, result): “In a similar way, case studies of late bilinguals in therapy (see Schrauf, 2000, for a review), as well as interviews with late bilinguals (Grosjean, 1982), show that they often express involvement in their first language and detachment in the second one.”
Physiological reactivity to emotional phrases in Mandarin—English bilinguals (2011, background): “…to determine if some categories of emotional experience are more easily retrieved in Mandarin vs. English, as studies of this type do exist for other languages (e.g., Altarriba & Bauer, 2004; Altarriba, Bauer, & Benvenuto, 1999; Marian & Neisser, 2000; Schrauf, 2000; Schrauf & Durazo-Arvizu, 2006).”
Does cariño equal “liking”? (2003, background): “Schrauf (2000) notes, Examination of work in experimental psychology on bilingual autobiographical memory and clinical case reports from psychoanalytic therapy with bilinguals suggests that memory retrievals for events from childhood and youth (in the country of origin) are more numerous, more…”
Emotion-memory effects in bilingual speakers: A levels-of-processing approach* (2009, background): “For example, in psychotherapy, the first language is frequently preferred for emotional topics and the second language for maintaining an aura of emotional distance (Altarriba and Santiago-Rivera, 1994; Schrauf, 2000).”
Self-Construal and Emotion in Bicultural Bilinguals. (2004, background): “…choice does appear to influence accessibility of memories and of their emotional qualities in both clinical and experimental studies (for a review, see Schrauf, 2000), so that some memories become more accessible or carry higher intensity when accessed in one language, compared to the other.”
Behavioural and physiological responses to the emotional and taboo Stroop tasks in native and non-native speakers of English (2011, methodology): “Email: J.Havelka@leeds.ac.uk the emotionality of autobiographical memories (Schrauf, 2000), as well as the measurement of physiological arousal in response to words and short phrases (e.g. Harris, Ayçiçeği, & Gleason, 2003) seem to suggest that L1 can be more emotional for bilinguals than L2.”
When is a First Language More Emotional? Psychophysiological Evidence from Bilingual Speakers (2006, background): “Gonzalez-Reigosa, 1976; Marian & Neisser, 2000; Pavlenko, 1998, 2002, 2004; Schrauf, 2000; Schrauf & Rubin, 1998).”
Reliving, emotions, and fragmentation in the autobiographical memories of veterans diagnosed with PTSD (2004, background): “Because of the central role of language in cognition and in culture (Schrauf, 2000; Schrauf & Rubin, 1998, 2000), we included two questions on language that have an auditory imagery component.”
Taboo words and reprimands elicit greater autonomic reactivity in a first language than in a second language (2003, background): “The L1 is learned in the context of family life and thus generally includes emotional extremes and usually also an individual’s earliest encounters with the gamut of human emotions (Schrauf, 2000).”
Investigating the Psychological and Emotional Dimensions in Instructed Language Learning: Obstacles and Possibilities (2005, result): “Underuse of emotion vocabulary also seemed to fit with findings in research into autobiographical memory where recall of emotional events in the L1 was found to be usually more vivid and intense than recall in the L2 (Schrauf, 2000).”
Inner speech and bilingual autobiographical memory: A Polish-Danish cross-cultural study (2002, background): “Schrauf and Rubin reasoned that a bilingual can retrieve a memory in a particular language but report it in any language, and that the language in which a memory is actually recalled will more likely reflect the language in which it was originally encoded.”
Belief and recollection of autobiographical memories (2003, background): “…of the central role of language in cognition and in culture, and because of our interest in autobiographical memory in bilinguals (Larsen, Schrauf, Fromholt, & Rubin, 2002; Schrauf, 2000; Schrauf & Rubin, 1998, 2000), we included two questions on language that have an auditory imagery component.”
