The current study is a conceptual replication of Wang (2008) using a pretest-posttest design and an online sample through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Seventy-one Asian-Americans recalled a recent memory before and after being primed as either Asian or American. On pre-prime memories, conditions did not significantly differ. However, on post-prime memories, participants primed as American recalled more self-focused memories than relationally focused memories and those primed as Asian recalled more relationally focused memories than self-focused memories. In addition, memories of Asian-Americans primed as American consisted of a smaller proportion of social interaction instances than those primed as Asian. In total, 6 of the 8 effects found in Wang (2008) were replicated. We discuss the implications that the current results and past studies have on our understanding of how culture influences memory encoding and retrieval.

当前的研究是对Wang（2008）的概念复制，使用了前测后测设计以及通过亚马逊的Mechanical Turk进行的在线样本。七十一名亚裔美国人回忆起自己成为亚裔或美国人之前和之后的记忆。在学前期记忆中，条件没有显着差异。但是，在初学后记忆中，以美国人为记忆的参与者回忆起来比以关系为中心的记忆更多，以自我为记忆的参与者比起以自我为中心的记忆，以亚洲人为记忆的回忆更多。此外，以亚裔美国人为主的亚裔美国人的记忆所占比例比以亚裔为首的亚裔美国人的社交互动实例所占比例要小。总共复制了Wang（2008）发现的8种效应中的6种。
