在回顾了有关个人关联效应(自我图式、自我参照效应、自传意义等)的文献后，我对普通心理学学生实施了一项建构主义叙事作业。我希望这次作业能增进对心理学原理的学习和记忆。学生们撰写与个人相关的论文，用自己的话描述心理学原理，并举例说明他们选择的原理如何与他们自己的生活相关。被指派写论文的学生会得到更高的考试成绩。此外，学生的反馈还显示了其他好处，包括提高了写作质量，提高了成绩，增强了学习动机。
After reviewing the literature on the effect of personal relevance (self-schema, self-referencing effect, autobiographical significance, etc.), I implemented a constructivist narrative assignment for general psychology students. I hoped the assignment would enhance learning of and memory for psychological principles. Students wrote personal relevance papers in which they described psychological principles in their own words and provided examples of how the principles they chose were relevant in their own lives. Students assigned to write the papers produced higher exam scores. Moreover, student feedback revealed other benefits, including improved writing quality, higher grades, and increased motivation to learn.
