目的：我们研究了老年人在日常生活中的社会回忆行为，以及回忆功能与幸福感之间的关系。方法：样本包括2,164个声音片段，其中包括45名健康老年人的讲话。我们使用电子激活录音机检查日常对话中的回忆。在四天的时间里，我们随机收集了每个参与者大约280个声音文件（30秒长）的样本。参与者的话语被编码为是否包括回忆，他们的功能和对话伙伴。参与者完成了情绪和生活满意度measures.Results：参与者回忆在他们的话语的5%（范围：0%-29%）。他们回忆起40%的朋友，32.8%的伴侣和8%的孩子/亲戚。三个回忆功能：身份，教学/告知，和对话。当被试与伴侣和孩子回忆时，回忆起了身份认同功能。参与者在与孩子和陌生人回忆的同时回忆教学/信息。谈话回忆主要发生在伴侣和朋友之间。我们发现生活满意度和身份，教/告知，和对话功能之间存在正相关关系。情绪有一个负相关的身份和教/通知functions.Discussion：这是第一个研究采取自然主义的观察方法来回忆，并建立在自我报告的数据。
Objectives: We examined older adults' social reminiscence behavior in everyday life, and the relation between reminiscence functions and well-being.Method: The sample included 2,164 sound snippets that included speech from 45 healthy older adults. We examined reminiscence in daily conversations using the Electronically Activated Recorder. Across four days, we collected a random sample of about 280 sound files (30 seconds long) per participant. Participants' utterances were coded for whether they included reminiscence, for their functions and conversation partners. Participants completed mood and life satisfaction measures.Results: Participants reminisced in 5% of their utterances (range: 0%-29%). They reminisced in 40% of cases with friends, 32.8% with their partner and 8% with their children/relatives. Three reminiscence functions were observed: identity, teaching/informing, and conversation. Participants' reminiscence served the identity function while they were reminiscing with their partner and children. Participants reminisced to teach/inform while reminiscing with their children and strangers. Reminiscing for conversation occurred mainly with partner and friends. We found positive relations between life satisfaction and identity, teach/inform, and conversation functions. Mood had a negative relation with identity and teach/inform functions.Discussion: This is the first study to take a naturalistic observation approach to reminiscence and to build on self-report data.
