INTRODUCTION
Compared to native languages, situations described in foreign languages made participants more willing to take risky bets in gambling scenarios gambling scenarios (KEYSAR; HAYAKAWA; AN, 2012). They were also less influenced by the framing manipulation, where the wording was changed to emphasize the loss or gain (KEYSAR; HAYAKAWA; AN, 2012). The phenomenon in which a non-native language influences decision-making is known as the foreign language effect (FLE) (KEYSAR; HAYAKAWA; AN, 2012). The FLE has recently been observed in moral dilemmas as well (HAYAKAWA et al., 2017). Though there are several accounts for the cause of FLE, Hayakawa and Keysar (2018) proposed that the quality of mental imagery plays an essential role in the phenomenon. The current study investigates whether mental imagery can influence the moral decision that an individual makes when reading a moral dilemma scenario in a second language.
