Development and testing of the autobiographical memory coding tool (AMCT) is detailed. The tool uses quantitative content analysis procedures to code interpretations of autobiographical memories as validating or lamenting. Development of a system of measuring autobiographical memories from transcribed reminiscence interviews involved defining the units of analysis, defining the categories and themes, constructing a codebook, assessing content validity, assessing reliability and making revisions. Thirty-nine transcripts of reminiscence interviews were used for tool development and testing. The AMCT contains a series of step-by-step guidelines for conducting the analysis and includes an autobiographical memory thematic dictionary and descriptions of range and variations in each theme to assist with coding data. Intercoder reliability estimates were 0.93, 0.93 and 0.95. Test-retest reliability was 1.00.
详细介绍了自传体记忆编码工具（AMCT）的开发与测试。该工具使用定量内容分析程序，将自传体记忆的解读编码为确认性或悔恨性。从转录的回忆访谈中测量自传体记忆的系统开发包括定义分析单元、定义类别和主题、构建编码手册、评估内容效度、评估信度以及进行修订。39份回忆访谈的转录本用于工具开发和测试。AMCT包含一系列进行分析的逐步指南，并包括一本自传体记忆主题词典以及每个主题的范围和变化描述，以协助数据编码。编码员间信度估计分别为0.93、0.93和0.95。重测信度为1.00。
