This study investigated the relationship between autobiographical memory and goals in complicated grief (CG). Twenty-four individuals with CG and 21 bereaved individuals without CG completed an autobiographical memory task and a personal goals task. CG participants were more likely to recall memories related to their loss, particularly in response to negative cues. There was a positive relationship between the proportion of loss-related memories recalled and the proportion of grief-related goals held by individuals after controlling for symptom level. Individuals with CG also showed impaired retrieval of specific autobiographical memories in response to both positive and negative cues. These results suggest that CG is characterised by impaired and biased retrieval of specific autobiographical memories. These patterns are consistent with propositions stemming from the self-memory models of autobiographical memory.
本研究调查了复杂悲痛（CG）中的自传体记忆和目标之间的关系。二十四名 CG 患者和二十一名无 CG 的丧亲者完成了自传体记忆任务和个人目标任务。CG 参与者更有可能回忆起与他们的损失有关的记忆，特别是在负面线索的刺激下。在控制症状水平后，个体回忆起的与损失相关的记忆的比例与他们持有的与悲伤相关的目标的比例之间存在正相关关系。CG 患者在正负线索刺激下也表现出特定自传体记忆提取的障碍。这些结果表明，CG 的特点是特定自传体记忆的提取受损和偏向。这些模式与自传体记忆的自我记忆模型的观点一致。
