Previous research suggests that our prospections rely, in part, upon our memories. However, less is known about the ways in which the content of memories and prospections are similar (or dissimilar) and whether this similarity varies by emotion. In the present study, we coded the content and style of participants’ (n = 109) positive, negative, and neutral memory and prospection narratives. Emot...

Communities form in order to manage and defend a commons and Community Memories are distributed information systems that help them do so. This paper discusses the use of tagging within Community Memories. We argue that the role of tagging goes beyond being an aid in navigation. It is a means by which communities come to grips with the tensions and challenges of their environment through the bot...

This paper explores some uses for the automatic analysis of multimedia data within the context of the archival and post-archival analysis of community memori...

The development of shared memories, beliefs, and norms is a fundamental characteristic of human communities. These emergent outcomes are thought to occur owing to a dynamic system of information sharing and memory updating, which fundamentally depends on communication. Here we report results on the formation of collective memories in laboratory-created communities. We manipulated conversational...

Few studies have related emotion knowledge to positive behavioral outcomes in middle childhood, and none of these included both temperament and cognitive ability in the analysis. In the present study of 166 sevenyear-old children from economically disadvantaged families, we show that temperamental inhibition, cognitive ability, a traditionally studied index of emotion knowledge (emotion recogni...

Social networking sites (SNS) play many roles in the everyday lives of their users. A growing body of research suggests that platforms such as Facebook also fundamentally change the way memories are performed. This article takes the former East-German youth radio DT64 as a starting point to analyse how media are remembered and how practices of remembering by music audiences might be altered wit...
