Abstract

This study examines how different psychological factors (e.g., nostalgia, anchoring bias) impact one’s memory of the number of past white Christmases (WCs) experienced and influence their predictions of future WCs. Participants tended to estimate a decline in WCs over time. Future WC guesses were also related to climate change attitudes.
