女性的情绪事件的记忆不同的效价和强度进行了检查,在叙事内容和结构的差异,以及主观记忆评级。情绪效价与女性叙述的内容有关,情绪强度与记忆的主观评分有关。消极叙事比积极叙事包含更多的消极情绪、认知加工词和被动句,积极叙事比消极叙事包含更多的积极情绪词,且更复杂。强烈的负面叙述是最长和最不复杂的,强烈的积极叙述是最连贯的。一般来说,女性对强烈负面和强烈正面事件的评价都是更频繁地谈论/思考,重要的,独特的,情绪化的,比中度情绪化的事件更生动,负面事件被评为比积极的叙述更情绪化。叙述的客观内容和女性对记忆经历的主观评价之间几乎没有联系。最后,研究人员定义的创伤性事件与其他强烈的负面事件没有区别。这项研究的结果有重要的意义,叙事研究一般,方法论问题,如文本分析程序和主观记忆评级的有效性,以及创伤记忆的质量。版权所有(C)2004约翰威利父子有限公司。
Women's memories of emotional events differing by both valence and intensity were examined for differences in narrative content and structure, as well as subjective memory ratings. Emotional valence was related to the content of the women's narratives, and emotional intensity was related to the subjective ratings of the memories. Negative narratives contained more negative emotion, cognitive processing words, and passive sentences than positive narratives, and positive narratives contained more positive emotion words and were more complex than negative narratives. Intensely negative narratives were the longest and the least complex, and intensely positive narratives were the most coherent. Women rated both intensely negative and intensely positive events, in general, as more frequently talked/thought about, significant, unique, emotional, and vivid than moderately emotional events, and negative events were rated as more emotional than positive narratives. There was little relation between the objective content of the narratives and the women's subjective ratings of their memory experiences. Finally, researcher-defined traumatic events did not differ from other intensely negative events. The results of this study have important implications for narrative research in general, methodological issues such as the validity of text analysis programs and subjective memory ratings, and the quality of traumatic memories.
