Misleading post-event information led the witnesses to poor eyewitness memory retention Extraverts were more accurate eyewitnesses than were the introverts Introverts performed better than the extraverts with consistent post-event information, while extraverts performed better when given misleading and no post-event information High energetic arousal and hedonic tone subjects retained more event details than the high tense arousal and anger/frustration subjects High tense arousal and anger/frustration subjects’ memory score dropped sharply when they were given misleading post event information in comparison to the high energetic arousal and hedonic tone subjects
