We evaluated relationship between personality and memory for social interactions. More specifically, we investigated the relationship between extraversion and the ability to remember who told us some information (i.e., source memory) and the ability to remember to whom we told that information (i.e., destination memory). On a source memory task, participants received information from pictures of celebrities; a subsequent recognition test required them to identify the celebrities from whom they had received that information. On a destination memory task, participants were invited to tell information to celebrities; a later recognition task instructed them to identify the celebrity to whom they had previously told that information. Besides the assessment of source and destination memory, participants answered a questionnaire regarding extraversion. Results demonstrated significant positive correlation between extraversion and source memory, as well as significant positive correlation between extraversion and destination memory. In other words, the more participants described themselves as extraverts, the higher their source and destination memory. During social communications (e.g., in a conversation), extraverts may demonstrate high source and destination memory as these individuals typically value social communication, public sharing, and processing of social information.

人格和社会记忆：外向者的高源和目标记忆

我们评估了社交互动中人格和记忆之间的关系。更具体地说，我们调查了外向性与记住谁告诉我们一些信息的能力（即源记忆）和记住我们告诉谁该信息的能力（即目标记忆）之间的关系。在源记忆任务中，参与者从名人照片中获得信息；随后的识别测试要求他们确定他们从哪些名人那里获得了该信息。在目的地记忆任务中，参与者被邀请向名人讲述信息；后来的识别任务指示他们识别他们之前向其告知该信息的名人。除了对源和目标记忆的评估外，参与者还回答了一份关于外向性的问卷。结果表明外向性和源记忆之间显着正相关，外向性和目标记忆之间显着正相关。换句话说，越多的参与者将自己描述为外向者，他们的来源和目的地记忆就越高。在社交交流期间（例如，在对话中），外向者可能会表现出高度的来源和目的地记忆，因为这些人通常重视社交交流、公共分享和社交信息的处理。
