Abstract

Self-reported lost memory of child sexual abuse (CSA) can be mistaken for "repressed memory." Based on our longitudinal studies of memory and disclosure in child maltreatment victims who are now adults, we discuss findings relevant to "repressed memory cases." We examined relations between self-report of temporarily lost memory of CSA (subjective forgetting) and memory accuracy for maltreatment-related experiences (objective memory). Across two studies involving separate samples, we find evidence for memory suppression rather than repression: (1) Most adults who claimed temporary lost memory of CSA reported memory suppression and clarified that they could have remembered the event if asked; (2) subjective forgetting was positively associated with accurate objective memory for maltreatment-related experiences. Subjective forgetting was also related to increased adult trauma symptoms and related to childhood non-disclosure of CSA. Moreover, trauma-related psychopathology mediated the relation between non-disclosure and subjective forgetting. Implications for psychological theory and repressed memory cases are discussed.

童年创伤事件的抑制与记忆:创伤症状与不披露。
自我报告的儿童性虐待(CSA)失忆可能会被误认为是 "压抑记忆"。基于我们对现已成年的儿童虐待受害者的记忆和披露的纵向研究,我们讨论了与 "压抑记忆案例 "相关的发现。我们研究了关于暂时失去 CSA 记忆的自我报告(主观遗忘)与虐待相关经历的记忆准确性(客观记忆)之间的关系。在两项涉及不同样本的研究中,我们发现了记忆抑制而非压抑的证据:(1) 大多数声称暂时失去 CSA 记忆的成年人都报告了记忆抑制,并澄清说如果被问及,他们可能会记得该事件;(2) 主观遗忘与虐待相关经历的客观记忆准确性呈正相关。主观遗忘还与成人创伤症状的增加有关,并与童年时未披露 CSA 有关。此外,与创伤相关的精神病理学对不披露和主观遗忘之间的关系起到了中介作用。本文讨论了心理学理论和压抑记忆案例的意义。
