Personality characteristics associated with susceptibility to false memories
2006
This study examined whether certain personality characteristics are associated with susceptibility to false memories. Participants first answered questions from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator in order to measure various personality characteristics. They then watched a video excerpt, the simulated eyewitness event. They were next encouraged to lie about the videotaped event during an interview. A week later, some participants recognized confabulated events as being from the video. Two personality characteristics in particular-the introversion-extroversion and thinking-feeling dimensions-were associated with susceptibility to false memories.
