Abstract

Reminiscence-based interventions focus on recalling autobiographical memories and reflective reasoning to develop a healthy and adaptive view of oneself and one's life. This study aimed to replicate the effects of a three-session, group-based, positive-memory version of cognitive-reminiscence therapy (CRT) on psychological resources and mental well-being and extend the findings to anticipated pleasure. The participants (N = 75, Mage = 43.7 (SD = 16.7), 60% females) were randomised to CRT or control group. Anticipated pleasure, psychological resources (schemas of positive self-esteem, self-efficacy, meaning in life, optimism), mental well-being (depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms) and theorised change processes (automatic negative thoughts, awareness of narrative identity) were assessed. Relative to the control group, the CRT group reported significantly higher anticipated pleasure (d = 0.76-0.93) and psychological resources of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and optimism (d's = 0.58-0.99) at post-CRT and follow-up, and lower depressive symptoms post-CRT and at follow-up (d = 0.56-0.67). Findings on meaning in life and negative automatic thinking were partially replicated. This study replicates findings of the effectiveness of this intervention for improving psychological resources such as self-worth, confidence and optimism and depressive symptoms, and indicates additional effects on anticipated pleasure. CRT may serve as a standalone intervention, or as an adjunct "memory booster" for interventions focused on future thinking and related anticipated reward.

引导回忆积极的自传体记忆可增加预期愉悦感和心理资源，减轻抑郁症状：简短积极认知回忆疗法随机对照试验的复制和扩展。

以回忆为基础的干预措施侧重于回忆自传体记忆和反思推理，以发展一种健康的、适应性强的自我和人生观。本研究旨在重复三节课、以小组为基础、积极记忆型认知回忆疗法（CRT）对心理资源和心理健康的影响，并将研究结果扩展到预期愉悦。参与者（人数 = 75，年龄 = 43.7 (SD = 16.7)，女性占 60%）被随机分配到 CRT 或对照组。对预期愉悦、心理资源（积极自尊、自我效能感、生活意义、乐观主义等图式）、心理健康（抑郁、焦虑和压力症状）以及理论上的变化过程（自动消极想法、对叙事身份的认识）进行了评估。与对照组相比，CRT 组在 CRT 后和随访时报告的预期愉悦度（d = 0.76-0.93）以及自尊、自我效能感和乐观的心理资源（d's = 0.58-0.99）明显更高，CRT 后和随访时的抑郁症状也更低（d = 0.56-0.67）。关于生命意义和消极自动思维的研究结果得到了部分复制。本研究重复了这一干预在改善自我价值、自信和乐观等心理资源以及抑郁症状方面的有效性，并显示了对预期快乐的额外影响。CRT 可以作为一种独立的干预措施，也可以作为一种辅助的 "记忆助推器"，用于侧重于未来思维和相关预期奖励的干预措施。

期刊介绍： Memory publishes high quality papers in all areas of memory research. This includes experimental studies of memory (including laboratory-based research, everyday memory studies, and applied memory research), developmental, educational, neuropsychological, clinical and social research on memory. By representing all significant areas of memory research, the journal cuts across the traditional distinctions of psychological research. Memory therefore provides a unique venue for memory researchers to communicate their findings and ideas both to peers within their own research tradition in the study of memory, and also to the wider range of research communities with direct interest in human memory.
