The automatic access of emotion: Emotional Stroop effects in Spanish–English bilingual speakers (2007, background): “Recently, Harris, Gleason, and Aycicegi ( 2005 ) attempted to determine when a first language is more emotional using psychophysiological measures.”
Behavioural and physiological responses to the emotional and taboo Stroop tasks in native and non-native speakers of English (2011, background): “Harris et al. (2006) have subsequently proposed the emotional contexts of learning theory.”
How foreign language shapes moral judgment (2015, methodology): “emotionality of a foreign versus a native language depends on a complex interplay between age of acquisition, level of proficiency, and the emotional context in which the foreign language is learned and used (Caldwell-Harris, 2014; Harris et al., 2006).”
Emotional activation in the first and second language (2007, background): “As previous research suggests that at least in late unbalanced bilinguals, L1 is more emotionally arousing than L2 (i.e., Harris et al., 2006), it could be expected that interference from negative and taboo stimuli would be smaller in L2 than in L1.”
Physiological reactivity to emotional phrases in Mandarin—English bilinguals (2011, background): “This is consistent with the emotional contexts of learning hypothesis, which states that language comes to be experienced as emotional when it is learned or used in an emotional context (Harris et al., 2006).”
Emotion and emotion-laden words in the bilingual lexicon (2008, background): “Direct evidence of these effects – with an interesting twist – comes from the studies by Harris and associates (Harris et al., 2003, 2006; Harris, 2004) that examined early and late bilinguals’ SCRs in response to different word types.”
Bilingualism and the Emotional Intensity of Advertising Language (2009, background): “dependent recall and on the emotions of bilinguals (Altarriba 2003; Harris et al. 2006; Marian and Kaushanskaya 2004; Marian and Neisser 2000; Pavlenko 2005) in the emphasis on the role of episodic and autobiographical memories in determining the emotionality of L1 and L2 words.”
Memory for emotional words in bilinguals: Do words have the same emotional intensity in the first and in the second language? (2010, result): “According to this proposal, it seems that the age of L2 acquisition is a relevant variable to take into account, as other authors have pointed out (Dewaele, 2004a, 2004b, 2008; Harris, 2004; Harris et al., 2006).”
