Language Switching and Mexican Americans' Emotional Expression
Ramos-Sanchez, Lucila
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v35 n3 p154 Jul 2007
This study examined the effects of counselor language switching and counselor ethnicity on bilingual Mexican American participants' emotional self-disclosure. Counselor language (English only and Spanish with English) was crossed with counselor ethnicity (Mexican American and European American) to produce 4 treatment conditions. Judges' observations revealed that the European American counselor who language switched elicited the most emotional expression from participants. (Contains 2 tables.)
