Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to provide an in-depth review of the existing literature pertaining to the study of bilingualism in three major avenues of study in psychological research. First, I discussed the cognitive benefits and deficits of being bilingual. Second, I considered the relationship between development and bilingualism. Finally, I turned to personality research to unpack the conflicting relationship that bilingualism and biculturalism have with personality. Ultimately, although there are a lot of compelling findings across these three areas of research, this analysis revealed some gaps and areas for possible future research.
