Transactive memory refers to the way people in close relationships use each other's memories as extensions of their own to improve their collaborative performance. Although pioneer research has been conducted among close couples, no studies have examined the effects of the cultural composition of couples on transactive memory. The goal of this study was to extend research about the positive impact of cultural diversity on team performance to mixed- (French-Moroccan) and same-culture couples (French-French, Moroccan-Moroccan). Thirty heterosexual couples aged from 22 to 55 years ( = 42.25 years and = 8.15) performed a culture-based memory game with cards depicting French and Moroccan culture. The order in which the pairs of cards was found is thought to reflect the efficiency of transactive memory. Results revealed that collective performance was better in mixed French-Moroccan couples than in same-culture couples but only for the French culture cards. These findings suggest that cultural diversity in couples has an impact on transactive memory and should be taken into consideration.
互易记忆是指人们在亲密关系中利用彼此的记忆作为自己记忆的延伸，以提高合作表现的方式。尽管先驱研究已经在亲密伴侣中进行，但没有研究考察夫妻的文化构成对互易记忆的影响。本研究的目的是将文化多样性对团队绩效的积极影响的研究扩展到混合（法-摩）和同文化（法-法、摩-摩）的夫妻中。30 对年龄在 22 至 55 岁之间的异性夫妻（ = 42.25 岁， = 8.15 岁）玩了一个基于文化的纸牌记忆游戏，卡片描绘了法国和摩洛哥的文化。人们认为，找到卡片对的顺序反映了互易记忆的效率。结果表明，混合法-摩夫妻的集体表现优于同文化夫妻，但仅限于法国文化卡片。这些发现表明夫妻的文化多样性对互易记忆有影响，应该加以考虑。
