Resilience has been frequently associated with positive emotions, especially when experienced during taxing events. However, the psychological processes that might allow resilient individuals to self-generate those positive emotions have been mostly overlooked. In line with recent advances in memory research, we propose that emotional memories play an important role in the self-generation of positive emotions. The present research examined this hypothesis in two studies. Study 1 provided initial data on the validity and reliability of a measure of emotional memories networks (EMN) and showed that it had a predictive value for broad emotion regulation constructs and outcomes. In addition, Study 1 showed that positive EMN mediated the relationship between psychological resilience and the experience of positive emotions in a context of sadness, even after controlling for pre-experimental positive mood. Study 2 replicated results of Study 1 in a context of anxiety and after controlling for positive affectivity trait.
复原力常常与积极情绪相关联，尤其是在压力事件中体验到积极情绪时。然而，那些可能使具有复原力的个体自我产生这些积极情绪的心理过程大多被忽视了。根据记忆研究的最新进展，我们提出情绪记忆在积极情绪的自我产生中起着重要作用。本研究通过两项研究检验了这一假设。研究1提供了关于情绪记忆网络（EMN）测量有效性和可靠性的初步数据，并表明它对广泛的情绪调节结构和结果具有预测价值。此外，研究1表明，即使在控制了实验前的积极情绪后，积极的EMN在悲伤情境中介导了心理复原力与积极情绪体验之间的关系。研究2在焦虑情境中并控制了积极情感特质后重复了研究1的结果。
