Varieties of frames structuring collective temporal thought.

Abstract: Cultural scripts can help structure collective remembering and future thought. This schematic scaffolding may help explain empirical patterns such as emotional biases in memory and future thought, as suggested by Liu and Szpunar (2023). In this commentary, we argue that the concept of “cultural scripts” as cognitive schemata shaping collective memory and future thought has been underspecified, such that cumulative theory building has been hampered. Here we outline some of the different schemata with which rese… Show more

“…These important distinctions loosely align with Yamashiro and Pashkov’s (2023) taxonomy of ahistorical cultural schemata (closer to scripts) and historically contingent narrative templates (closer to narratives). In accord with theorizing by Yamashiro and Pashkov, national narratives are not unconstrained: Liu (2022, Chapter 6) notes that they have a beginning, middle, and an end, and at the national level they frequently involve conflict, with the ingroup and its heroes as protagonists, and various outgroups as villains.…”

“…As one particularly relevant example, Mert et al demonstrated that identification with country predicted the positivity with which their participants thought about the future of their nation, and in one study, accounted for differences in positive thinking about national future among Chinese, American, and Turkish participants. Of course, there are likely other factors in addition to group identification, at both the individual (e.g., Daley et al, 2023) and group levels (e.g., Yamashiro & Pashkov, 2023), that influence the characterization of group futures as either positive or negative. Future work in this area will need to shed further light on the mechanisms of collective future thinking.…”

“…When asked about the past of a collective such as a nation, people also view things positively. But when people are asked to imagine the future of their nation, they often have a more negative view (Liu and Szpunar 2023; Yamashiro and Pashkov 2023). My research suggests that Russians’ imagination of the future is not stably positive or negative, at least as reflected in official history textbooks.…”
