Videotaped interviews of 30 Holocaust survivors were scored for integrative complexity, the recognition of alternate perspectives or dimensions of a topic ("differentiation") and the joint consideration of several perspectives or dimensions ("integration"). Memories showed decreased differentiation and integration as they moved from pre-war life to the shock and upheaval when organized persecution began. High complexity levels reflected survivors mustering their resources to enhance their chances of survival and successful postwar adaptation. These findings demonstrate the usefulness of quantitative, objective content analytic methods in Holocaust survivor research, add a cognitive dimension to the study of survival during and after extreme situations, and confirm theoretical propositions about decision making and information processing under stress.
对30名大屠杀幸存者的录像采访进行了综合复杂性评分，包括对一个主题的不同观点或维度的认识（“分化”）以及对多个观点或维度的综合考虑（“整合”）。随着记忆从战前生活转向有组织迫害开始时的震惊和动荡，记忆的分化和整合程度降低。高复杂性水平反映出幸存者集中自身资源以增加生存机会和战后成功适应的能力。这些发现证明了定量、客观的内容分析方法在大屠杀幸存者研究中的有用性，为极端情况下的生存研究增添了认知维度，并证实了关于压力下决策和信息处理的理论命题。
