New method analyzes cross-cultural psychological meaning using multilingual embeddings

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method called Supervised Semantic Differential (SSD) to analyze cross-cultural differences in psychological meaning. This technique extends existing SSD methods to work with multilingual word embeddings, allowing for comparisons across languages. The study applied SSD to affective norm lexicons in Polish, English, and French, focusing on dimensions like Valence, Arousal, and Dominance. Findings indicated significant recoverability of affective dimensions across languages, with Valence showing broad alignment while Arousal and Dominance revealed more distinct cross-cultural contrasts.
