Abstract

As we all know, linguistics is interesting, and it always affects people in many ways. This work wonders what other factors will affect people’s personality besides language itself. The first idea that comes to our mind is culture. In this experiment, 200 members from different cultural backgrounds will be gathered, and their scores when finishing the same personality test will be measured. Afterwards, the difference between these test results will be analyzed. After completing the test, the results will be able to demonstrate that culture is one of the factors that affects the change in personality of English-Chinese bilinguals when switching languages, meaning that the result of two groups of participants will be significantly different or have a greater difference in change in the two languages. Through the assessment and comparisons of the figures, the work proved that cultural background has a profound influence on personalities when switching languages.
