Most studies of the effects of neuroticism on memory investigate the recall of self-related material learned during the course of the experimental session. The present study was designed to examine the effects of neuroticism on more complex personal events in real life. High levels of neuroticism were associated with a tendency toward fewer happy thoughts and memories. The results also suggest that neuroticism increased retrieval of negative personal memories independent of depressed mood. These findings are discussed in relation to cognitive vulnerability to depression.
大多数关于神经质对记忆影响的研究都考察了在实验过程中学习的与自我相关材料的回忆情况。本研究旨在检验神经质对现实生活中更复杂个人事件的影响。高神经质水平与较少产生快乐想法和记忆的倾向相关。研究结果还表明，神经质会增加对负面个人记忆的提取，且与抑郁情绪无关。我们将结合对抑郁症的认知易感性来讨论这些发现。
