Abstract

This poster explores cultural expectations as a potential source of gender differences in autobiographical memory. Participants read memory narratives and guessed whether they were written by men or women. Narrative content was used to predict these guesses. Emotion words and connectedness to others both predicted higher likelihood of guessing female.
