Abstract

ABSTRACT Across three studies we explored neuroticism in relation to the fading affect bias, which refers to the greater fading of unpleasant compared to pleasant emotions in autobiographical memory. With increasing neuroticism, there was an increase in the frequency of unpleasant event rehearsal, which was then linked to less fading of negative affect. Study 2 showed this effect was specific to reflective rehearsal, with Study 3 clarifying the mediating effect was due to increased frequency of the reflective sub-type of rumination. We offer new insights into the effects of neuroticism on autobiographical memory and suggest that reflective rumination can be linked to retention of negative affect in individuals with high neuroticism, which can be interpreted as indicative of maladaptive emotional processing.

反思性沉思介导神经质对自传体记忆中情感偏差消退的影响

摘要在三项研究中，我们探讨了神经质与消退情感偏见的关系，消退情感偏见是指在自传体记忆中，与愉快情绪相比，不愉快情绪的消退更大。随着神经质的增加，不愉快事件排练的频率也增加，这与负面情绪的消退减少有关。研究2表明，这种影响是反射性排练特有的，研究3澄清了这种中介作用是由于反射性亚型反刍频率的增加。我们对神经质对自传体记忆的影响提供了新的见解，并认为反思性沉思可能与高神经质个体保留负面影响有关，这可以被解释为适应不良的情绪处理。

期刊介绍： Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
