Groups from japan, china, bangladesh, england, and the united states recalled, described ad dated specific autobiographical memories. When memories were plotted in terms of age - at - encoding highly similar life - span memory retrieval curves were observed : the periods of childhood amnesia and the reminiscence bump were the same across cultures. However, content analysis of memory descriptions of the U. S. and chinese group found that memories from the chinese group had interdependent self - focus (i. e. were of events with a group or social orientation), whereas the memory content of the U. S. group showed an independent self - focus (i. e. were of events oriented to the individual). Thee findings suggest that there are culturally invariant features of autobiographical memory that yield structurally similar memories across cultures, yet the content of memories is sensitive to cultural influences related to the nature of the self. Findings are discussed in light of similarities and diversity between selves with different self / other orientations.
