本研究探讨是否回避负面记忆的结果，以及入侵减少记忆的特异性。健康的参与者抑制了对消极或中性自传体事件的记忆。抑制负面记忆的人往往比那些没有抑制负面目标记忆的人表现出更小的负面情绪增加。无论是抑制，也不效价的被抑制的记忆预测减少记忆特异性。自传体记忆提取过程中的目标记忆相关的入侵预测更大的具体记忆回忆的减少。我们的研究结果进行了讨论的影响调节和其他帐户的过度一般的记忆。版权所有（C）2010约翰威利父子有限公司
This study examines whether avoidance of negative memories results in intrusions as well as reduced memory specificity. Healthy participants suppressed memories of either a negative or a neutral autobiographical event. Individuals who suppressed negative memories tended to demonstrate smaller increases in negative mood than those who did not suppress their negative target memory. Neither suppression nor valence of the to-be-suppressed memory predicted decreases in memory specificity. Target memory-related intrusions during autobiographical memory retrieval predicted larger reductions in specific memory recall. Our findings are discussed in terms of affect regulation and other accounts of over-general memory. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
