Yes / Peoples’ judgments and decisions often change when made in their foreign language. Existing
research testing this foreign language effect has predominantly used text-based stimuli with little
research focusing on the impact of listening to audio stimuli on the effect. The only existing study on
this topic found shifts in people’s moral decisions only in the audio modality. Firstly, by reanalyzing
the data from this previous study and by collecting data in an additional experiment, we found no
consistent effects of using foreign language on moral judgments. Secondly, in both datasets we
found no significant language by modality interaction. Overall, our results highlight the need for
more robust testing of the foreign language effect, and its boundary conditions. However, modality
of presentation does not appear to be a candidate for explaining its variability. Data and materials for
this experiment are available at https://osf.io/qbjxn/.
