Abstract
We attempted to differentiate individuals who report nonbelieved memories, and their reasons for doing so, from those who do not in terms of self-construal. Independent and interdependent self-construal did not predict the occurrence of nonbelieved memories. Social feedback was the most frequent reason for changing one’s belief independently of self-construal.
