Resumo(s)
The linguistic expectancy bias (LEB) reflects the tendency to describe expectancyconsistent
behavior more abstractly than expectancy-inconsistent. The current
studies replicate the LEB in Portuguese and examine it in a second language
(English). Earlier studies found differences in processing a first language (L1) and
a second language (L2) shaping affective and cognitive processes. We did not
expect these differences to shape the LEB because controlled lexical decisions
(e.g., use of verbs and adjectives) are unlikely, even when using L2. Participants
wrote stereotypically male or female behavioral descriptions for male and female
targets. A new group of participants read those descriptions and was asked about
their causes. Expectancy-consistent behavior was described more abstractly and
shaped more dispositional inferences in L1 and L2. Aside from replicating the
LEB in a different language, these studies indicate that structural features of language
preserve a linguistic bias with implications for social perception even
when using a second language.
