Abstract

Although recent research suggests that, for community youth, greater specific (episodic) detail in self-relevant turning point memory narratives predicts depressive symptoms over time, no research has investigated whether the narratives’ specificity similarly predicts depression. Therefore, we investigated whether recalling a specific (unique, 24-hour or less) turning point narrative predicted youth depressive symptoms concurrently and across 6 months (Study 1), and, for a subset of participants, three years (Study 2). We also examined whether the valence of the implication of the experience for self (the resolution) explained additional variance and interacted with memory specificity. For Study 1 (N = 320, M = 16.9 years, 81% female), a specific (rather than a non-specific) turning point predicted greater depressive symptoms concurrently but not longitudinally, whereas a negative resolution predicted both concurrent and longitudinal depressive symptoms. The moderation result showed that a specific turning point predicted escalating depressive symptoms across six months when the resolution was negative. Study 2 (N = 68) additionally showed that a specific turning point predicted increased depressive symptoms three years later. These findings contrast with research suggesting that specific memories are related to better mental health and highlight the complexity of the role of memory in emerging youth depression.

青少年转折点记忆叙述的特异性和情感:与长期抑郁症状的关系
尽管最近的研究表明,对于社区青少年来说,与自我相关的转折点记忆叙事中更具体(情节性)的细节会随着时间的推移预测抑郁症状,但还没有研究调查这些叙事的具体性是否同样会预测抑郁症。因此,我们调查了回忆特定(唯一、24 小时或更少)的转折点叙述是否能预测青少年同时和在 6 个月内的抑郁症状(研究 1),以及一部分参与者在 3 年内的抑郁症状(研究 2)。我们还研究了经历对自我的影响(解决方法)是否能解释额外的差异,以及是否与记忆特异性相互作用。在研究 1(N = 320,M = 16.9 岁,81% 为女性)中,特定的转折点(而非非特定的转折点)可预测更严重的同期抑郁症状,但不能预测纵向抑郁症状,而消极的解决方法可预测同期和纵向抑郁症状。调节结果表明,当转折点为消极时,特定转折点可预测抑郁症状在六个月内不断加重。研究 2(N = 68)还显示,特定转折点可预测三年后抑郁症状的加重。这些研究结果与表明特定记忆与更好的心理健康有关的研究结果形成了鲜明对比,并凸显了记忆在新出现的青少年抑郁症中作用的复杂性。

期刊介绍: The major focus of Behaviour Research and Therapy is an experimental psychopathology approach to understanding emotional and behavioral disorders and their prevention and treatment, using cognitive, behavioral, and psychophysiological (including neural) methods and models. This includes laboratory-based experimental studies with healthy, at risk and subclinical individuals that inform clinical application as well as studies with clinically severe samples. The following types of submissions are encouraged: theoretical reviews of mechanisms that contribute to psychopathology and that offer new treatment targets; tests of novel, mechanistically focused psychological interventions, especially ones that include theory-driven or experimentally-derived predictors, moderators and mediators; and innovations in dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices into clinical practice in psychology and associated fields, especially those that target underlying mechanisms or focus on novel approaches to treatment delivery. In addition to traditional psychological disorders, the scope of the journal includes behavioural medicine (e.g., chronic pain). The journal will not consider manuscripts dealing primarily with measurement, psychometric analyses, and personality assessment.
