More Than the Sum of Its Parts: A Transformative Theory of Biculturalism (2017, background): “Cultural cues that can trigger frame switching include iconic and mundane cultural images (Mok & Morris, 2009; Verkuyten & Pouliasi, 2002), language (Perunovic et al., 2007; Ramírez-Esparza et al., 2006), and ethnicity of the interlocutor (Chen & Bond, 2010).”
One Individual, Two Identities: Frame Switching among Biculturals (2008, background): “Our article focuses on language-triggered switching of culture-specific identity frames, extending recent research in this incipient but growing area of inquiry (e.g., Briley et al. 2005; Ramı́rez-Esparza et al. 2006) by providing and validating a theory-based psycholinguistic framework.”
Paradox Lost (2008, unknown): “Moreover, item-bias analyses (van de Vijver & Leung, 1997a, 1997b) showed that the English and Spanish items did not have different psychometric item characteristics across the two languages (Ramírez-Esparza et al., 2006).”
Construct Validation of a short Five-Factor Model Instrument: A Self-Peer Study on the German Adaptation of the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI-G). (2007, unknown): “Indeed , recent research has suggested that bilinguals may actually change their personalities slightly as they switch between languages, undermining the use of bilinguals as the gold standard for evaluating instruments (Ramírez-Esparza , Gosling, Benet-Martínez, Potter, & Pennebaker, 2006).”
Cultural chameleons and iconoclasts: Assimilation and reactance to cultural cues in biculturals’ expressed personalities as a function of identity conflict (2009, background): “Uniqueness-seeking and extraversion are thought to fit with individualist (e.g., North America) rather than collectivist cultures (e.g., East Asia) because they emphasize the independence of individuals from their groups (Eap et al., 2008; Ramirez-Esparza et al., 2006).”
Multilinguals' perceptions of feeling different when switching languages (2013, background): “Evidence for this ‘Cultural Frame Switching’ has been provided by Koven (1998, 2001, 2007) who, in a study of French Portuguese bilinguals, elicited stories of different kinds of personal experience depending upon whether the participants used French or Portuguese to tell the story to a social peer.”
Bicultural Identity Integration (2011, background): “Cultural frame switching has been shown to occur for cognitive styles (Hong et al., 2000), personality ( Ramirez-Esparza, Gosling, Benet-Martinez, Potter, & Pennebaker, 2006 ), self-identification and cultural values (Verkuyten & Pouliasi, 2002), self-construal (See Smith, Chapter 11, this volume), ”
How Dual-Identity Processes Foster Creativity (2014, background): “…alternating between the two relevant frames or identities—a process that has typically been referred to in the cross-cultural literature as frame-switching (Hong et al., 2000; Bell, 1990; Ramírez-Esparza, Gosling, Benet-Martínez, Potter, & Pennebaker, 2006 for an overview of studies, see Table 2).”
