Emotional inhibition in recollection of specific autobiographical memories (Conway & Pleydell-Pearce, 2000) is investigated in two experiments. Less complete emotional inhibition was hypothesised to correspond to a reduced sense of psychological closure. Emotional inhibition was identified by comparing the effect of emotion words relative to lifetime period words as primes. In Experiment 1, emotion words facilitated recognition judgements of descriptions of remembered experiences rated low in closure. In Experiment 2, emotion words facilitated recognition judgements of descriptions of a laboratory experience made lower in closure. A sense of psychological closure may therefore be a prerequisite for strategic emotional inhibition. Implications for adjustment and goal pursuit are discussed.
在两项实验中，对特定自传体记忆回忆中的情绪抑制（康威和普莱德尔 - 皮尔斯，2000）进行了研究。研究假设，情绪抑制不那么完全对应于心理闭合感的降低。通过比较相对于作为启动词的生命周期词而言情绪词的效果来识别情绪抑制。在实验1中，情绪词促进了对在闭合性方面被评为低的记忆经历描述的识别判断。在实验2中，情绪词促进了对在闭合性方面被降低的实验室经历描述的识别判断。因此，心理闭合感可能是策略性情绪抑制的一个先决条件。文中还讨论了其对调整和目标追求的影响。
