人际互动情境中虚假记忆的主动构建“去个性化”在社会感染效应中的作用

Communication within groups can lead to the spread of misinformation, which in turn creates false memories. This phenomenon is known as the social contagion of memory. Some studies focus on factors like experimental design and information content. Many works highlight the role of interpersonal factors. However, these studies often treat senders and receivers as independent units. More research is needed on the social contagion of memory, especially from the perspective of interaction dynamics.Interaction patterns are a fundamental aspect of interaction dynamics. They may affect the strength of the social contagion effect. For example, in free-for-all interactions, individuals may be more likely to accept misinformation. This often occurs to maintain social goals or a positive image, leading to a deindividuation response. This response can persist and alter memory, causing the spread of false memories. In turn-taking interactions, deindividuation is less likely, and the social contagion effect is weaker. Future research should accurately measure deindividuation and explore its role in the social contagion effect. It should further uncover the mechanisms behind this effect.
