traits of the person so they might describe the person as being kind but sometimes they're a bit dishonest okay and so you know all the kind of things that we all are to greater or lesser extent everybody's a bit of a mixed bag um and then the participants were later told that these this is a description either of you so other people have described you in this way or it's a description of some other third party okay what they called chris

And then later on, they asked the participants to recall as much of the description as they could. And what they found is that when people recalled the CRIS study, they recalled kind of both the positive and the negative details.

But if the description was supposed to apply to themselves, then they only really recalled the positive details and they were much less likely to recall the negative ones. So again, we have this sort of systematic thing where we're likely to remember the part where somebody said, oh, well, you know, she's a very kind person. but not the part where they said, well, she's sometimes a bit sneaky.

Yeah. So again, if we take that same idea of giving people a summary of a description of themselves or of somebody else that includes both positive and negative traits, the extent to which people will remember those seems to depend on whether or not

people think that those are things that they can change or not okay um so if if people think that these kind of negative traits are are kind of malleable then you know then they're like okay well that's fine maybe I still have those but it's kind of something I can fix but if it's something that's completely um like kind of you know something that you can't do anything about like

oh, well, she's a nice person, but she's really unfortunately short. And there's absolutely nothing you can do about that. Well, then you're likely to forget that detail coming in. But if they say like, oh, well, she's a really nice person, but sometimes, you know, she has a habit of rolling her eyes. You kind of go, OK, well, I could probably change that.

So you could say, oh, I suppose sometimes I do do that, but I'm working on it, you know. So we're less likely to misremember or to forget those details where we feel like there's something that we can change or something we can do about them. And they don't feel like they're a fundamental part of who we are.
