SOURCE MONITORING AND DISSOCIATION--BASES OF FALSE MEMOR

这项拟议的研究的目的是明确分离倾向和错误记忆之间的经验联系的潜在机制。为实现这一目标，设计了三个具体目标：1)建立高分离倾向与现实监测错误倾向之间的经验联系；2)明确高分离倾向可能导致现实监测失败的机制；3)考察加剧或减轻高分离倾向个体对现实监测错误的易感性的条件。这六项拟议研究的结果将提供经验数据，有助于理解高分离性个体特别容易出现错误记忆的机制。这些结果对心理治疗师评估哪些程序最适合减少错误记忆的可能性也有相当大的价值。

The objective of the proposed research is to specify the mechanisms underlying the empirical link between dissociative tendencies and false memories. Three specific aims are designed to achieve this objective: 1) Establish an empirical link between high dissociative tendencies and proneness to reality monitoring errors; 2) Specify mechanisms by which high dissociative tendencies may contribute to reality monitoring failure; and 3) Examine conditions that exacerbate or mitigate the susceptibility of individuals with high dissociative tendencies to reality monitoring errors. The results from the six proposed studies will provide empirical data that contribute to understanding of the mechanisms by which high dissociative individuals are particularly' susceptible to false memories. The results also have considerable value to psychotherapists in evaluating which procedures are most appropriate to reduce the possibility of false memories.
