Abstract
Research shows that bilinguals express different personalities depending on the language used, however, there is limited understanding of this connection among Dutch-English bilinguals. This study investigates whether this shift in personality, known as cultural frame-shifting, occurs not only in bicultural bilinguals but also in monocultural bilinguals. By examining how personality traits influence language use in monocultural Dutch-English bilinguals, this study utilizes the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) and the Big Five Inventory. Data from 28 bilinguals were analyzed using Spearman correlation, multivariate regression analysis, and various parametric and non-parametric tests. While some small significant differences were found, the results were not sufficient to conclude that the cultural frame-shifting effect is present in monocultural bilinguals.
