    "title": "The Influence of Religious Beliefs on False Memory of Fabricated Events",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Previous research has indicated that memories can be\nmodified in conjunction with one’s attitudes, in particular,\npolitical beliefs. The current study extended this finding by\nfocusing on the relationship between differing religious\nbeliefs and false memories for news events. We predicted\nthat religious people would be more inclined to remember\nfabricated news events positively depicting religion and\nless likely to remember events negatively depicting religion\ncompared to non-religious people. Opposite effects were\npredicted for events depicting atheism. In contrast, we\nfound that religious people were more likely to falsely\nremember both events depicting religion positively and\nnegatively compared to non-religious individuals.\nHowever, the extent to which individuals felt positively\nabout the events interacted with religious beliefs to predict\nreported false memories. Religious individuals were more\nlikely to remember events if they felt positively about them\nwhereas atheists were more likely to remember events if\nthey felt negatively about them",
