- Abstract
Decision is a cognitive process that is controlled and orderly. There are various factors that can affect decision making, among which is the use of language. Specifically, the effect of language on decision making related to moral issues. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to examine the effect of language on the moral judgement. The method that was used in the study is an experimental design (a mixed factorial design). There were 60 Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia undergraduate students participated in the study. 30 participants were in the experimental group (group that received dilemma questions in foreign language (English) and 30 participants were in the control group (group that received dilemma questions in native language (Bahasa). Participants received one of the three types of dilemma questions, that is the personal moral, non-personal moral or non-moral dilemmas. Results showed that there was a significant effect of language usage (English) on the types of moral judgments. Participants were prone to agree and allow actions with utilitarian feature in the foreign language situation. Results also showed that there was a significant difference in types of moral judgement depending on the types of dilemma, especially between moral and non-moral dilemmas. In other words, different dilemmas produced different types of moral judgements. However, there was no significant interaction between types of language and dilemmas on the types of moral judgement. The implication of the findings is that the cognitive process that processes types of language has an effect on decision making, in this case decisions that involve moral issues.
