“…The validated Chinese version of the Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13) was adopted to measure participants' posttraumatic stress disorder after COVID-19 [30,31]. This scale was used as an objective assessment tool for screening PTSD symptoms after different traumatic events (e.g., earthquake) among Chinese children and adolescents [32,33]. Participants were asked to rate the frequency of occurrence of each symptom using a 4-point scale (0 ¼ "never," 1 ¼ "rarely," 3 ¼ "sometimes," and 5 ¼ "a lot"), resulting in total scores ranging from 0 to 65.…”

This study examined the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among adolescents in mainland China under COVID-19. The direct effects of the perceived threat of COVID-19 and positive youth development (PYD) qualities, as well as the moderating effect of PYD qualities on PTSD symptoms, were studied. Methods: Five schools in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, participated in this study. Two waves of data were collected before school lockdown (

“…Since both the AMT and COWAT (measures of autobiographical memory specificity and executive control) were timed, and thus Further, the majority of OGM research has been conducted in Western countries (i.e., the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, etc.). Although a few studies have replicated the OGM phenomenon in non-western countries (e.g., in Iranian suicide attempters [Kaviani, Rahimi-Darabad, & Naghavi, 2005], in Chinese middle school children with PTSD [Chen, Huang, Dang, & Zheng, 2012], in bereaved Afghan adolescents [Neshat-Doost, Yule, Kalantari, Rezvani, Dyregrov, & Jobson, 2014]), the construct has not been extensively substantiated as a cross-cultural phenomenon.…”

Overgeneral memory (OGM) is a phenomenon of reduced autobiographical memory specificity observed in major depressive disorder (MDD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Individuals demonstrating OGM tend to describe past events generally rather than specifically recalling single memory occurrences. Research shows that OGM is perpetuated by three mechanisms: capture in the memory hierarchy due to trait rumination (CaR), functional avoidance of specific memory retrieval (FA), and impaired executive control (X), which together make up the CaR-FAX model of OGM. Research on the CaR-FAX model has historically looked at each mechanism in isolation. The current research aimed to compare the contributions of all three mechanisms to a measure of OGM, as well as to investigate possible interactions between the mechanisms, and compare the contributions of the CaR-FAX model to those of an encoding predictor. Psychometric data on the three CaR-FAX mechanisms, autobiographical memory specificity, cognitive attributional style, and mental health were collected from 107 undergraduate psychology students via online surveys, then analyzed in a hierarchical linear regression model. Executive control explained significant unique variance in OGM, with rumination making an indirect contribution. No other anticipated contributions from the CaR-FAX model or memory encoding were observed. Methodological issues in non-clinical and computerized OGM research are highlighted. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis is the culmination of my time in the Master of Arts in Research and Experimental Psychology program. I count my time in this program as a success, which would not have been possible without the help and support of numerous individuals. First, I would like to thank my parents, Mark and Carrie Davis, for their continued love and support throughout my studies leading up to and including this graduate program. I would not have been able to make it this far if not for their constant encouragement and their insistence on prioritizing my studies. For that, I am eternally grateful. Second, I would like to thank my thesis committee. Special thanks to Dr. Mark Van Selst for agreeing to support this thesis topic and for painstakingly combing through this document with me on multiple occasions. Great appreciation is also due to Dr. Annabel Prins for her involvement in this project and continued thoughtful feedback regarding the clinical implications of this research. Thanks also to Drs. Sean Laraway and Greg Feist for their assistance in the editing phase of this project. Thank you to all four of you for helping me create a thesis that I am proud of. I would also like to thank all of the SJSU faculty under whom I have had the opportunity to study during this program for equipping me with the skills necessary to complete this study. Thanks also to Rob Most of Mind Garden, Inc. for his guidance and use of the WAYS Escape-Avoidance subscale, and to Ashleigh King for her assistance in rating the AMT responses. Finally, I would like to thank my friends...

Autobiographical Memory is the memory of personal experiences. Attachment theory provides an important framework for understanding autobiographical memory. Based on the differences in individual attachment styles and the Self-Memory System of Conway and Pearce's, this article concludes that attachment system plays the role of target director, defensive exclusion and emotion regulation in autobiographical memory retrieval. Studies have found that secure individuals have advantages over insecure ones in the quantity, specificity, accuracy, accessibility, emotional intensity and arousal of memory retrieval. Future research can be carried out on the effects of attachment activation, the differences in specific components of memory retrieval between anxious and avoidant attachment styles, the relationship between attachment and retrieval of involuntary autobiographical memory.
