Abstract

AbstractWe asked undergraduate students (N = 83) if they had seen non‐existent video footage of the assassination of Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn, and whether they could remember details of this footage. Sixty‐three percent of the participants indicated they had seen the footage, and 23% were able to provide details of this footage. Participants with ‘memories’ of the non‐existent footage had higher fantasy proneness scores than those who could not remember this footage. Results underscore the malleability of our autobiographical memory. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
