A popular theme in the literature on bilingualism is that emotions are stronger if experienced in the dominant language. Substantiation of this phenomenon, however, mostly relies on anecdotes and subjective ratings. This study aimed to determine whether evidence of the phenomenon could be provided by measures of processing efficiency and arousal during online language processing. Students for whom English and Spanish coexist, albeit English is dominant in their academic and occupational lives, read aloud taboo and neutral words in either language while skin conductance measurement appraised arousal. Overall, Spanish was processed less efficiently and yielded greater arousal than English, suggesting a more effortful analysis of Spanish. Processing efficiency and arousal were greater for taboo than neutral words presented in English but not Spanish. Frequent use of a language can make processing not only less effortful but also likely to reflect emotional responses to aversive/threatening stimuli.

The process of information concealment is more relevant than ever in this day and age. Using a modified concealed-information test (CIT), we aimed to unmask this process by investigating both the decision and the attempt to conceal information in 38 students. The attempt to conceal (vs. reveal) information induced a differential physiological response pattern within subjects—whereas skin conductance increased in both conditions, respiration and heart rate were suppressed only in the conceal condition—confirming the idea that these measures reflect different underlying mechanisms. The decision to conceal (vs. reveal) information induced enhanced anticipatory skin conductance responses. To our knowledge, this is the first study that observed such anticipatory responses in an information-concealment paradigm. Together, these findings imply that our physiological responses reflect, to some degree, both the decision and the attempt to conceal information. In addition to strengthening CIT theory, this knowledge sheds novel light on anticipatory responding in decision making.
