儿童的情绪事件记忆研究综述

A Review of Researches of Children’s Memory for Emotional Events

个体在经历生活中的事件时会产生相应的情绪反应,并产生情绪事件记忆。对情绪事件的回忆是儿童自传体记忆中的重要部分。由于儿童还不能连贯地对情绪事件进行叙述,他们早期的自传体记忆通常是在亲子间共同回忆往事的情境下建构起来的。同时,压力事件作为情绪事件中的一部分,对儿童的处理策略及情绪健康都有重要影响。本文主要从儿童情绪事件记忆中存在的性别和文化差异以及儿童对压力事件的回忆这两方面对相关研究进行述评。

The events in one’s life produce emotional reaction and memory. The recalling of emotional events is an important part of children’s autobiographical memory. However, as children cannot create a coherent narration of their emotional events, their early autobiographical memory is co-constructed in the context of parent-child reminiscence. Meanwhile, as a part of emotional events, stressful events have significant influences on children’s dealing strategies and emotional well-being. This paper, based on related studies, mainly focuses on the gender and cultural differences in children’s memories of emotional events and their recalling of stressful events.
