Abstract

We investigated whether collaborative remembering changes students’ memories and emotions towards an autobiographical event of taking an exam. Our findings suggest that sharing memories can regulate memory and emotional views, and that collective memory emerges as a consequence of collaboratively remembering autobiographical events.
