Abstract
We compared how young and older adults’ self-reported memory self-efficacy (MSE) relates to humility, depression, and item framing. Inconsistent with past research, depression related broadly to MSE regardless of item framing. Additionally, humility affected the memory self-reports of young, but not older adults, particularly on positively- and neutrally-worded items.
