https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw3YTbubyjIEmpirically there seems to be a very strong correlation between langauge and behavior, and this isn’t something new. This gentleman is just a recent economist exploring the same question.
I can say that giving people a langauge for expressing intuitions more clearly is universal. But I am not sure that it affects their thinking as much as norms do. Or as much as genes do.
And so I don’t know if these differences are linguistic, normative, or genetic. I suspect they’re all three.
