Reminiscence-based interventions focus on the recall of autobiographical memories and reflective reasoning about these remembered experiences. This study assessed the effect of a three-session, positive-memory version of cognitive-reminiscence therapy (CRT) on the psychological resources and mental well-being of young adults. The participants (N = 62, M_age = 24.6 [SD = 3.1], 71% females) were randomised to CRT or wait-list. Psychological resources (self-esteem, self-efficacy, meaning in life and optimism), mental well-being (depression, anxiety and stress symptoms) and theorised change processes (automatic negative thoughts, awareness of narrative identity and cognitive reappraisal) were assessed. The results showed the CRT group was significantly higher on psychological resources at post-CRT (d = 0.75–0.80) and follow-up (d = 0.52–0.87) and mental well-being at post-intervention (d = 0.71–1.30) and follow-up (d = 0.64–0.98). The hypotheses regarding change processes were supported. Future research may use an active comparator and include a longer follow-up, given only short-term effects were assessed. Brief, positive-focused CRT is effective in increasing psychological resources and mental well-being in young adults.

记忆恢复力：简短的认知记忆疗法可改善年轻人的心理资源和心理健康

基于回忆的干预侧重于回忆自传记忆和对这些记忆经历的反思推理。本研究评估了认知回忆疗法 (CRT) 的三期正记忆版本对年轻人心理资源和心理健康的影响。参与者 ( N  = 62, M_年龄 = 24.6 [ SD = 3.1]，71% 的女性）被随机分配到 CRT 或候补名单。评估了心理资源（自尊、自我效能、生活意义和乐观）、心理健康（抑郁、焦虑和压力症状）和理论化的变化过程（自动消极思想、对叙事身份的认识和认知重新评估）。结果显示，CRT 组在 CRT 后的心理资源（d  = 0.75-0.80）和随访（d  = 0.52-0.87）和干预后的心理健康（ d  = 0.71-1.30）显着更高和跟进（d = 0.64–0.98)。支持有关变革过程的假设。鉴于仅评估了短期影响，未来的研究可能会使用主动比较器并包括更长的随访时间。简短的、以积极为中心的 CRT 可有效增加年轻人的心理资源和心理健康。
