研究実績の概要 |
The applicant of this project developed an innovative experimental method for examining the memory conformity among co-witnesses, through collaboration with Maryanne Garry of Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand (The Mori-Garry Paradigm). In this international project, we conducted the same memory conformity experiments with witness pairs in different cultural backgrounds, including Japanese, Chinese-Malaysian, Turkish, Polish, and Anglo-Saxon. We have obtained the average ratios of conformity frequencies among co-witnesses under the same experimental witnessing condition. We have found the similar results throughout the five different cultures. We have written up the first draft of the manuscript to submit for publication in an academic research journal.
