Effectiveness of biased retelling for traumatic memory problems

在本研究中，我们探讨了偏见复述与创伤性记忆问题（包括侵入性思想和过度自传式记忆）相关的认知特征之间的关系。结果显示，正向偏倚复述对低思维控制能力（TCA）被试有正向影响，而对高思维控制能力（TCA）被试有正向影响，复述提高了应对技能，尤其是正向解释技能。此外，我们还研究了促进积极信念复述个人记忆的认知因素。结果表明，积极信念对复述的有效性需要一定程度的乐观主义。这表明，积极的复述信念受到积极的解释技能和思想控制能力的调节，从而导致一个人的心理健康。

In this study, we investigated the relationship between the effects of biased retelling and cognitive characteristics that are related to traumatic memory issues including intrusive thoughts and overgeneral autobiographical memory. Results revealed that positive biased retelling had positive effects on participants with low-thought control ability (TCA), rather than high-TCA participants, and retelling improved the coping skills, especially the positive interpretation skills. In addition, we investigated the cognitive factor that facilitated positive beliefs for the retelling of personal memories. Results showed that the effectiveness of positive beliefs on retelling required a certain level of optimism. This suggests that positive beliefs in retelling are regulated by positive interpretation skills and thought control ability, which lead a person toward psychological well-being.
