We examined the impact of social feedback and objective false evidence on belief in occurrence, belief in accuracy, and recollection of an autobiographical experience. Participants viewed six virtual scenes (e.g., park) and were tested on their belief/recollection. After 1-week, participants were randomly assigned to four groups. One group received social feedback that one scene was not experienced. A second group received objective false evidence that one of the scenes was not shown. A third group received both social feedback and objective false evidence and the control group did not receive any manipulation. Belief in occurrence dropped considerably in the social feedback group and in the combined group. Also, nonbelieved memories were most likely to occur in participants receiving both social feedback and objective false evidence. We show that social feedback and objective false evidence undermine belief in occurrence, but that they leave belief in accuracy and recollection unaffected.
我们研究了社会反馈和客观错误证据对事件发生信念、准确性信念以及自传体经历回忆的影响。参与者观看了六个虚拟场景（如公园），并对他们的信念/回忆进行了测试。一周后，参与者被随机分为四组。一组收到关于一个场景未被经历的社会反馈。第二组收到关于其中一个场景未被展示的客观错误证据。第三组同时收到社会反馈和客观错误证据，而对照组未接受任何干预。社会反馈组和综合组中事件发生信念大幅下降。此外，不被相信的记忆最有可能出现在同时收到社会反馈和客观错误证据的参与者中。我们表明，社会反馈和客观错误证据会削弱事件发生信念，但它们不会影响准确性信念和回忆。
