        abstract = {The current study focuses on how different scales with varying demands can affect our subjective assessments. We carried out 2 experiments in which we asked participants to rate how happy or sad morphed images of faces looked. The  two  extremes  were  the  original  happy  and  original  sad  faces  with  4 morphs in between. We  manipulated language  of the  task{--}namely, half of the participants carried it out in their native language, Spanish, and the other half  in  their  foreign  language,  English{--}and  type  of  scale.  Within  type  of scale,  we  compared  verbal  and  brightness  scales.  We  found  that,  while language  did  not  have  an  effect  on  the  assessment,  type  of  scale  did.  The brightness scale  led  to  overall  higher  ratings,  i.e.,  assessing  all  faces  as somewhat happier. This provides a limitation on the foreign language effect, as well as evidence for the influence of the cognitive demands of a scale on emotionality assessments.},
