“…These findings extend previous research on motivated remembering, which has mainly focused on the specific case of self-serving memory biases in self-related memories, i.e. biases in episodic or autobiographical memories of own past experiences or behaviors that help individuals to maintain a positive self-image (Sanitioso et al, 1990;Dunning et al, 1991;Kouchaki & Gino, 2016;Sedikides et al, 2016).
