Conversational remembering, or sharing autobiographical memories with others, occurs frequently in everyday communication. The current project examined how the experience of shared reality with a conversation partner when describing autobiographical memories to them can operate to enhance the self, social, and directive uses of a recalled memory and explored the role of shared reality experienced as a result of conversational remembering in psychological well-being. In this project, conversational remembering was examined using experimental (Study 1) and daily diary (Study 2) methodologies. Results indicated that experiencing a shared reality during conversational remembering of an autobiographical memory enhanced self, social, and directive memory goal fulfilment and was positively associated with greater psychological well-being. The current investigation highlights important benefits of sharing our life stories with others, especially those with whom we develop a sense of shared reality.
对话式记忆，即与他人分享自传体记忆，在日常交流中经常发生。本项目研究了在向对话伙伴描述自传体记忆时，与对话伙伴共同体验现实感如何能够增强记忆的自我、社会和指导用途，并探讨了因对话式记忆而产生的共同现实体验在心理幸福感中的作用。在本项目中，使用实验（研究 1）和日常日记（研究 2）方法研究了对话式记忆。结果表明，在自传体记忆的对话式记忆中体验共同现实感，增强了自我、社会和指导记忆目标的实现，并与更高的心理幸福感呈正相关。本研究强调了与他人分享我们的生活故事的重要好处，尤其是与那些与我们建立共同现实感的人分享。
