目前的自传体记忆模型表明，自我认同指导自传体记忆提取。此外，回忆过去和想象未来自我的能力（心理时间旅行）可以影响社会问题的解决。我们研究是否操纵自我身份，通过诱导任务，学生被引导相信他们拥有高或低的自我效能，影响情节的特异性和检索和想象的事件的内容，以及社会问题的解决。与低自我效能组的个体相比，高自我效能组的个体产生的过去和未来事件具有更大的（a）特异性，（B）积极词汇和（c）自我效能陈述，并且在社会问题解决指数上也表现得更好。缺乏情节细节的未来事件预测较差的性能上的社会问题解决任务。提高自我效能感的策略可以帮助个体有选择地构建有助于谈判社会问题的过去和未来。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc.

Current models of autobiographical memory suggest that self-identity guides autobiographical memory retrieval. Further, the capacity to recall the past and imagine one's self in the future (mental time travel) can influence social problem solving. We examined whether manipulating self-identity, through an induction task in which students were led to believe they possessed high or low self-efficacy, impacted episodic specificity and content of retrieved and imagined events, as well as social problem solving. Compared to individuals in the low self efficacy group, individuals in the high self efficacy group generated past and future events with greater (a) specificity, (b) positive words, and (c) self-efficacious statements, and also performed better on social problem solving indices. A lack of episodic detail for future events predicted poorer performance on social problem solving tasks. Strategies that increase perceived self-efficacy may help individuals to selectively construct a past and future that aids in negotiating social problems. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
