“…Whereas some studies report a deleterious (Cook, Hicks, & Marsh, 2007;Ferré, Comesaña, & Guasch, 2019, Experiment 2 and 3;MacKenzie, Powell, & Donaldson, 2015;Maddock & Frein, 2009) or a beneficial effect of emotion (Kensinger & Corkin, 2003;, others show no differences between emotional and neutral stimuli on source memory (Ferré et al, 2019, Experiment 1;Gallant, Spaniol, & Yang, 2019;Gallant & Yang, 2014;Koenig & Mecklinger, 2008;Wang & Fu, 2011). These conflicting findings may be accounted for by different factors: the way information is encoded is a relevant candidate to consider (Leynes & Crawford, 2018;Leynes & Mok, 2017). In this regard, self-referential processing has been one of the encoding strategies examined in the context of source memory by testing its influence on features, such as stimulus location and color (Yin, Ma, Xu, & Yang, 2019) and the encoding task itself (Dulas, Newsome, & Duarte, 2011;Durbin, Mitchell, & Johnson, 2017;Hou, Grilli, & Glisky, 2019;Leshikar & Duarte, 2012;Leshikar, Dulas, & Duarte, 2015;Mao, Wang, Wu, & Guo, 2017;Pereira et al, 2019;Zhang, Pan, Li, & Guo, 2018).…”
