Abstract
  This study examined false memories evoked by blood type stereotypes. Five texts were constructed: (1) a text including 12 stereotypically blood type A personality traits (e.g., industrious); (2) a text including 12 stereotypically female roles (e.g., secretary); (3) a text including 12 words related to the concept stair based on the DRM paradigm; (4) a text including 12 words related to the concept alarm based on the DRM paradigm; and (5) a text including 12 words related to the concept improvement based on the DRM paradigm. The participants read these texts. Recognition tests revealed that blood type stereotypes evoke the highest degree of false memories.
