“Just Me Versus We: How Feelings of Social Connection During Positive and Negative Experiences Impact Memory”

We find that shared experiences are more accessible than individual experiences, and that people associate shared (individual) experiences more strongly with positive (negative) affect. Further, this effect is moderated by the need to belong trait.
