  • Repressed memories and the body keeps the score

    Kris-Ann S Anderson, Quincy C Miller et al.ARTICLEMemory2025Cited by: 2References: 46

    The “memory wars” resurgence has renewed debates over the validity of repressed memories. This revival appears linked to factors such as changing statutes of limitations, confusion about repression, and unchallenged social media content. In a nationally representative online survey of American adults (N = 1581), we examined (a) beliefs in repression and the body keeps the score, (b) the prevalence of recovered memory claims, and (c) the impact of…

  • Does emotional or repeated misinformation increase memory distortion for a trauma analogue event

  • More than meets the eye

    Open AccessKristyn A Jones, Therese L Todd et al.ARTICLEPsychology Public Policy and Law2021

    This article examines people’s interpretations of a recorded police–civilian altercation when they receive a priori information about a civilian’s behavioral health and information about how an officer responded. In two experiments, MTurk participants (N = 771) were randomly assigned to receive a label for the civilian (schizophrenia, substance use, or no label) and information about the officer’s response (use of force, de-escalation tactics, or…

  • Objectivity is a myth for you but not for me or police

    Kristyn A Jones, William Crozier et al.ARTICLEPsychology Public Policy and Law2018

    Now more than ever, people have access to police footage, yet people still disagree about what some footage depicts. This is not surprising given that research on attention, perception, and memory demonstrates that motivations, biases, and context shape what people see and remember. However, we do not know whether people are attuned to the fact that their understanding and memory of observed criminal encounters may be biased. Moreover, we do not …

  • Trauma-related versus positive involuntary thoughts with and without meta-awareness

    Open AccessDeanne M Green, Deryn Strange et al.ARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2016

  • Meta-awareness and the involuntary memory spectrum

    Open AccessMaría Dolores De-Miguel Gómez, Melanie Takarangi et al.ARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2015

    In their commentary, Meyer, Otgaar, and Smeets (2015) raise several important issues about the definitions, characteristics and applications of various involuntary cognitive phenomena. Here we respond to the comments of Meyer et al. in ways that we hope will advance understanding of these issues, and inform future research. In particular, we have focused on the characteristics of involuntary phenomena-particularly in relation to meta-awareness-an…

  • Self-report may underestimate trauma intrusions

  • News as (hazardous) entertainment

    Victoria Z Lawson, Deryn StrangeARTICLEPsychology of Popular Media Culture2013Cited by: 1References: 2

    The media is influential in shaping people’s knowledge and beliefs about the world; however, reporters may take liberties with the facts to support a particular view or to create an entertaining story, resulting in biased or even falsified reports. We examined whether news reports with exaggerated details from newspapers and/or television are more likely to lead to memory distortion and whether a warning regarding the media’s potential for exagge…
