For measuring these variables we have used a modified language history questionnaire, the Hungarian versions of the Davis Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI-HU) and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS-HU). The data of 208 individuals from Serbia were analyzed. Comparing individuals who are monolinguals and bilinguals, at present use and know languages at various levels, our results have shown that individuals with higher levels of current language knowledge and frequency of language use rate their skills of evaluating the emotions of others and perspective taking as better. © 2023, FACTEACHEREDUCATION.
