Sad reflections of positive past selves
Positive central life events are positive past events that are perceived to be central to one’s identity. These events are thought to have important self-enhancing functions, such as promoting wellbeing, self-esteem, and positive emotions in healthy individuals. Research on how individuals with depression respond to positive central life events is scarce. However, evidence from studies examining responses to positive memories more broadly, sugges…
The association between chronic alcohol, cannabis, and opioids use and autobiographical memory impairments
Future research needs to expand further the association between chronic psychoactive substance use and AM impairments as this will be clinically relevant for treatment planning in this population
Sad reflections of happy times
Instructed retrieval of positive autobiographical memories typically improves mood for healthy individuals, but not always for depressed individuals. No mood improvement may occur when depressed individuals retrieve positive memories that are self-incongruent, or when they ruminate upon positive memory retrieval. Mindfulness is associated with lower self-incongruency and rumination. The present study examined whether recurrent depression predicte…
Semantic and Episodic Autobiographical Memory Recall for Memories Not Directly Associated with Childhood Sexual Abuse
Changes in the relationship between self‐reference and emotional valence as a function of dysphoria
The self‐positivity bias is found to be an aspect of normal cognitive function. Changes in this bias are usually associated with changes in emotional states, such as dysphoria or depression. The aim of the present study was to clarify the role of emotional valence within self‐referential processing. By asking non‐dysphoric and dysphoric individuals to rate separately the emotional and self‐referential content of a set of 240 words, it was possibl…
Gender differences in the dual‐task effects on autobiographical memory retrieval during social problem solving
A dual‐task paradigm was used to explore the effects of cognitive load on social problem solving and autobiographical memory retrieval. The role that gender may play in mediating the relationship was also examined. Participants performed a secondary task concurrently with two primary tasks: ( a ) a cueing task, and { b ) the Means–End Problem‐Solving (MEPS) Task, during which they were required to attend to the memories retrieved during solution …
