最近的研究表明,情绪不一致的影响是由于情绪调节过程,在这个过程中,人们恢复积极的记忆来修复消极的情绪。在研究1中,作者调查了焦虑是否会影响自传体记忆的可及性,在积极或消极的情绪诱导下,再加上随后的反刍或分心。结果显示,反刍后,非焦虑参与者有情绪修复效果,而焦虑参与者没有。在研究2中,参与者被要求在消极情绪诱导后分散注意力或回忆积极的自传体记忆。在两种情况下,非焦虑参与者的情绪都有所改善,而焦虑参与者的情绪只有在分心后才有所改善。这些结果表明,烦躁不安与使用情绪不一致的回忆来修复悲伤情绪的能力降低有关。
Recent studies have suggested that mood-incongruency effects are due to mood-regulatory processes, in which people retrieve positive memories to repair negative moods. In Study 1, the authors investigated whether dysphoria influences the accessibility of autobiographical memories following a positive or a negative mood induction combined with subsequent rumination or distraction. The results showed a mood-repair effect for nondysphoric but not for dysphoric participants following rumination. In Study 2, participants were asked to either distract themselves or to recall positive autobiographical memories after a negative mood induction. Whereas nondysphoric participants' mood improved under both conditions, dysphoric participants' mood improved only after distraction. These results suggest that dysphoria is associated with a reduced ability to use mood-incongruent recall to repair sad moods.
