ABSTRACT

While the role of emotion in autobiographical memory (ABM) is acknowledged in some models, its specific effects are blurred by narrow approaches towards emotion that are often limited to a distinction between intensity and valence. After presenting a critical review of the role assigned to emotion for the development of ABM, this paper surveys current perspectives which encourage a broader approach to emotion in the development of ABM. Research on Flashbulb memories provides an important context where the role of emotion has been the most extensively investigated. This paper makes three important recommendations for future research, which are to (1) provide an assessment of emotional responses that includes appraisals, action tendencies, bodily sensations, and emotion intensity; (2) investigate the role of specific emotional states; and (3) adopt systematically a multi-component approach of ABM measurement, which takes accuracy, consistency, vividness, degree of details, and confidence into account.

摘要

虽然情绪在自传体记忆 (ABM) 中的作用在某些模型中得到承认，但其具体影响被狭隘的情绪方法所模糊，这些方法通常仅限于强度和效价之间的区别。在对情绪在 ABM 发展中的作用进行了批判性审查之后，本文调查了当前的观点，这些观点鼓励在 ABM 的发展中采用更广泛的情绪方法。对闪光灯记忆的研究提供了一个重要的背景，其中情绪的作用得到了最广泛的研究。本文对未来的研究提出了三项重要建议，即：（1）提供对情绪反应的评估，包括评估、行动倾向、身体感觉和情绪强度；(2) 调查特定情绪状态的作用；
