Abstract: This study aims to understand the impact of language in a specific listening-to-hear context in recognizing emotions. A study (Pavlenko, 2012) observed bilingual children navigating through emotions differently depending on the language they spoke and communicated. According to new research (Iacozza et al., 2017), language is emotionally driven and can have different effects on those that are native vs foreign language. In this pilot study, pre-schoolers will see two sets of cartoon series represented in two languages to see if they can discern different types of emotions between the two. The aim here is emotions and understanding factors that could have affected their decision-making in recognizing them. The study will focus on the bilingual and multilingual children for this experiment. It is essential to study the differences as animated series are one of the most popular content that can expose multiple forms of social interactions, language usage, and the world around them (Habib & Soliman, 2015). There have been several studies on language and the affective responses people have. There are fewer studies on how children, specifically bilingual and multilingual children, differ in discerning different emotions depending on the emphasis of tones than the context in understanding emotions (Kasisopa et al., 2018). This study is currently in the nascent stages and is currently working on finalizing the analysis and submitting it for stage 1 preregistration.
