目前的分析检查了(A)心理健康指标是否能预测主观记忆，以及(B)主观记忆是否与实际记忆一致。来自巴尔的摩黑人老龄化研究的579名老年非裔美国人完成了评估主观记忆、抑郁症状、感知压力、控制点以及语言和工作记忆的测量。更高的感知压力水平和更大的外在控制点预示着较差的主观记忆，但主观记忆并不能预测客观的语言或工作记忆。结果表明，在年长的非裔美国人中，主观记忆受到心理健康方面的影响，但与客观记忆无关。
The current analysis examined (a) if measures of psychological well-being predict subjective memory, and (b) if subjective memory is consistent with actual memory. Five hundred seventy-nine older African Americans from the Baltimore Study of Black Aging completed measures assessing subjective memory, depressive symptomatology, perceived stress, locus of control, and verbal and working memory. Higher levels of perceived stress and greater externalized locus of control predicted poorer subjective memory, but subjective memory did not predict objective verbal or working memory. Results suggest that subjective memory is influenced by aspects of psychological well-being but is unrelated to objective memory in older African Americans.
