Findings addressing the issue of whether depressed individuals more readily recall negative than positive aspects of their past have been conflicting (Moore, Watts & Williams, 1988; Williams & Scott, 1988). A more consistent finding has been a tendency for depressed individuals to retrieve 'overgeneral' autobiographical memories (Brittlebank, Scott, Williams & Ferrier, 1993; Williams & Scott, 1988). In the current study depressed patients and non-depressed controls were asked to generate specific memories in response to a series of positive and negative cue words. No latency bias in recalling memories to negative cues over memories to positive cues was found. However, the more consistent finding that depressed patients have difficulty generating specific memories was supported.
关于抑郁个体是否更容易回忆起过去的消极方面而非积极方面这一问题的研究结果一直存在分歧（摩尔、瓦茨和威廉姆斯，1988年；威廉姆斯和斯科特，1988年）。一个更为一致的研究结果是，抑郁个体倾向于提取“过度概括”的自传体记忆（布里特尔班克、斯科特、威廉姆斯和费里尔，1993年；威廉姆斯和斯科特，1988年）。在当前的研究中，要求抑郁患者和非抑郁对照组根据一系列积极和消极的提示词生成特定的记忆。未发现对消极提示词的记忆回忆潜伏期比对积极提示词的记忆回忆潜伏期存在偏差。然而，抑郁患者难以生成特定记忆这一更为一致的研究结果得到了支持。
