Previous research has demonstrated that individual differences in conflict management predict second-language (L2) reading skill. The current experiment tested the hypothesis that this relation reflects the need to manage conflict from cross-linguistic interactions (CLI). A novel model specifying the relation between L2 reading skill, CLI, and the predictors of such interactions was tested in 253 L2 English speaking adults, using structural equation modeling. In support of the hypothesis, the findings revealed that stronger CLI was related to poorer L2 reading skill. In addition, variability in non-linguistic conflict management, as measured by executive attention tasks, and relative language dominance reliably predicted CLI. Specifically, better conflict management and lower L1 dominance corresponded to fewer interactions. These results fill a crucial gap by demonstrating for the first time that the ability to manage CLI is critical to L2 reading, and that both cognitive skills and language experience contribute to variability in these interactions.

跨语言交互中个体差异的预测因素和后果:第二语言阅读技能模型

先前的研究表明,冲突管理中的个体差异可以预测第二语言 (L2) 阅读技能。当前的实验检验了这种关系反映了管理跨语言交互 (CLI) 冲突的必要性的假设。使用结构方程模型在 253 名讲 L2 英语的成年人中测试了一个新的模型,该模型指定了 L2 阅读技能、CLI 和这种相互作用的预测因子之间的关系。为了支持这一假设,研究结果表明,较强的 CLI 与较差的 L2 阅读技能有关。此外,通过执行注意力任务衡量的非语言冲突管理的可变性和相对语言优势可靠地预测了 CLI。具体来说,更好的冲突管理和较低的 L1 优势对应于较少的互动。
