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.
我们评估了人格与社交互动记忆之间的关系。更具体地说，我们研究了外向性与记住谁告诉我们某些信息的能力（即源记忆）以及记住我们将该信息告诉了谁的能力（即目标记忆）之间的关系。在一项源记忆任务中，参与者从名人图片中获取信息；随后的识别测试要求他们识别出提供该信息的名人。在一项目标记忆任务中，参与者被邀请向名人讲述信息；随后的识别任务要求他们识别出之前向其讲述该信息的名人。除了评估源记忆和目标记忆外，参与者还回答了一份关于外向性的问卷。结果表明，外向性与源记忆之间存在显著的正相关，外向性与目标记忆之间也存在显著的正相关。换句话说，参与者将自己描述为外向者的程度越高，他们的源记忆和目标记忆就越高。在社交交流中（例如，在对话中），外向者可能表现出较高的源记忆和目标记忆，因为这些人通常重视社交交流、公开分享和社会信息的处理。
