这项探索性的研究探讨了记忆评估和个人对阿尔茨海默病发展的担忧之间的联系。年龄在40-60岁之间的人的样本包括具有患有阿尔茨海默病的活着的父母的成年儿童（N = 25）和没有痴呆症家族史的匹配组（N = 25）。使用两个复合措施的记忆评价，结果显示显着的二元和多元关系的记忆功能的自我评估和发展的疾病的关注。研究结果还表明，消极的记忆评价在两个子样本中都引起了对阿尔茨海默病发展的担忧。
This exploratory study examines the link between memory appraisals and personal concerns about developing Alzheimer's disease. The sample of persons ages 40-60 includes adult children with a living parent who has Alzheimer's disease (N = 25) and a matched group with no family history of dementia (N = 25). Using two composite measures of memory appraisals, the results show significant bivariate and multivariate relationships between self-assessments of memory functioning and concerns about developing the disease. The findings also suggest that negative memory appraisals evoke concerns about developing Alzheimer's disease within both of the subsamples.
