A brief article in the Times of India reports on a study conducted in Israel among bilingual Arabs. The study, published in Psychological Science concluded that when the subjects were in an Arab-speaking environment their responses towards Arabs and Jews were different to when they were in a Hebrew-speaking environment.
It's possible that it was the environment and people who they were with that affected their responses, rather than the language they were speaking, but it is clear that the language one speaks does have an affect on how one thinks. This is further explored in Guy Deutscher's new book Through the Language Glass. This is probably as well-written a book as you are likely to find on the subject, and comes highly recommended, like his previous book, The Unfolding of Language.
