Abstract
How do audiences impact the memories shared on social media? We find that sharing experience on social media can ironically decrease memory of shared experience and sharing with a small group attenuates sharer’s memories to a greater extent than sharing with a large group. This advantage is due to outsourcing memories to identifiable audiences and is diminished by enhancing the perceived heterogeneity of large group or decreasing the identifiability of small group.
