Two studies examined emotions and motives in self-defining memories. In Study 1, participants recalled five self-defining memories (four recent and one earliest childhood), rated their emotions and motives during each memory, and completed a set of personality measures. A subset of participants provided a second set of memories, as well as emotion and motive ratings, approximately 2 weeks after the initial session. Results suggest that emotions and motives are moderately stable across memories and over time and show theoretically meaningful relations with self-esteem, narcissism, and affective dispositions. Study 2 extended the findings of Study 1 to a longitudinal context. Emotions and motives coded from self-defining memories were associated with changes in personality, well-being, and academic performance over a 4-year period.
两项研究考察了自我定义记忆中的情绪和动机。在研究1中，参与者回忆了五个自我定义记忆（四个近期的和一个最早的童年记忆），对每个记忆中的情绪和动机进行评分，并完成了一系列人格测量。一部分参与者在初次实验约两周后提供了第二组记忆以及情绪和动机评分。结果表明，情绪和动机在不同记忆间以及随时间推移具有适度的稳定性，并且与自尊、自恋和情感倾向呈现出理论上有意义的关系。研究2将研究1的结果扩展到了纵向情境中。从自我定义记忆中编码的情绪和动机与四年间的人格、幸福感和学业成绩变化相关。
