这项研究探讨了无意中听到的谣言对儿童记忆的影响是否会随着社会过程的变化而变化。两个实验的结果表明，同样的错误谣言对儿童的回忆有不同的影响，这取决于他们在接触谣言后与同龄人的社会互动的程度和类型。在这两项实验中，3至5岁的孩子无意中听到了有关最近经历的事件的虚假谣言，然后在一周后接受了有关该事件的采访。在实验1中，孩子们更有可能报告经历rumored-but-nonoccurring的信息，如果他们被允许与同龄人自然互动后暴露于谣言，如果他们被阻止从同行交流。在实验2中，暴露于谣言诱导更大的记忆污染，如果它是种植在熟悉的同龄人比如果它是在陌生人中遇到的。(C)2010年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
This research examined whether the impact of overheard rumors on children's memory for their experiences varies as a function of social processes. The results of two experiments revealed that the very same errant rumor had different consequences for children's recollections depending on the degree and type of social interactions they had with peers after exposure to the rumor. In both experiments, 3- to 5-year-olds overheard a false rumor about a recently experienced event and then were interviewed about the event 1 week later. In Experiment 1, children were more likely to report experiencing rumored-but-nonoccurring information if they were allowed to interact naturally with peers following exposure to the rumor than if they were prevented from peer exchange. In Experiment 2, exposure to the rumor induced greater memory contamination if it was planted among familiar peers than if it was encountered among strangers. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
