“…Support for this view is provided by studies demonstrating slower reaction times for instance in an affective priming paradigm (Altarriba & Canary, 2004;Degner et al, 2012). For instance in the study by Altarriba & Canary (2004) English monolingual and Spanish-English bilingual participants performed lexical decisions to English words in emotionally related or unrelated conditions. Positive priming effects in related conditions were found for both groups of participants with longer latencies for bilinguals than for monolinguals.…”

“…This effect also occurred when the prime and target were emotionally charged (negative or positive) in the same way. Altarriba and Canary (2004) found evidence of affective priming in both English monolinguals and Spanish-English bilinguals. But in some conditions, bilinguals had longer reaction times and less priming effect when compared to monolinguals.…”

“…But in some conditions, bilinguals had longer reaction times and less priming effect when compared to monolinguals. The authors suggest that this difference might be linked to the fact that the bilinguals had learned and used English in educational and work environments, and that their English emotion words had fewer emotional connotations and therefore reduced affective priming (Altarriba and Canary 2004).…”

“…There was also some code switching, evidence that bicultural bilinguals interacting with other bicultural bilinguals can use the full range of their cultural and linguistic repertoires. Altarriba and Canary (2004) used a word-priming paradigm to investigate the effect of word arousal, an emotional component of words, on word recognition in bilinguals. The authors developed word pairs, which were then presented to participants in sequential order.…”

Norms of valence and arousal for 14,031 Spanish words

Most current models of research on emotion recognize valence (how pleasant a stimulus is) and arousal (the level of activation or intensity that a stimulus elicits) as important components in the classification of affective experiences (Barrett, 1998; Kuppens, Tuerlinckx, Russell, & Barrett, 2012). Here we present a set of norms for valence and arousal for a very large set of Spanish words, including items from a variety of frequencies, semantic categories, and parts of speech, including a subset of conjugated verbs. In this regard, we found that there were significant but very small differences between the ratings for conjugations of the same verb, validating the practice of applying the ratings for infinitives to all derived forms of the verb. Our norms show a high degree of reliability and are strongly correlated with those of Redondo, Fraga, Padron, and Comesana's (2007) Spanish version of the influential Affective Norms for English Words (Bradley & Lang, 1999), as well as those from Warriner, Kuperman, and Brysbaert (2013), the largest available set of emotional norms for English words. Additionally, we included measures of word prevalence-that is, the percentage of participants that knew a particular word-for each variable (Keuleers, Stevens, Mandera, & Brysbaert, 2015). Our large set of norms in Spanish not only will facilitate the creation of stimuli and the analysis of texts in that language, but also will be useful for cross-language comparisons and research on emotional aspects of bilingualism. The norms can be downloaded and available as a supplementary materials to this article
