“…The results of the present study were consistent with the previous research (Anthony and Jenson, 2006), which showed that the high resilient group was easier to perceive positive emotion, while the low resilient group was easier to perceive negative emotion. High resilient individuals could self-generate those positive emotions (Philippe et al, 2018), which allowed them to have a good recovery from stress. Meanwhile, it was also shown that both rating of negative and positive pictures had significantly positive correlation with that of neutral pictures, which might reflect the overall tendency of people to treat their life events or individual idiosyncrasy.…”

“…The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS: Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) measured hedonic well‐being (7‐point scale, ranging from 1 to 7), a short version of the Psychological Well‐Being Scale (PWB; Ryff & Keyes, 1995) measured eudaimonic well‐being (7‐point scale, ranging from 1 to 7), a short 13‐item version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI: Beck & Beck, 1972) measured depressive symptoms (4‐point scale, ranging from 0 to 3), a short 6‐item version of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI: Beck, Epstein, Brown, & Steer, 1988) measured participants’ subjective state of anxiety (4‐point scale, ranging from 0 to 3), and the 10‐item Symptom Checklist (SCL‐10R: Rosen et al, 2000) measured various psychological symptoms (5‐point scale, ranging from 0 to 4). All these scales have been previously used together in an index of well‐being (e.g., Philippe & Bernard‐Desrosiers, 2017; Philippe, Dobbin, Ross, & Houle, 2017). Moreover, a factorial analysis, using Maximum Likelihood, revealed one factor (eigenvalue: 3.38) in the present study data.…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine whether coherent integration of negative memories into the self could positively predict well‐being over time, and whether certain emotion regulation strategies could facilitate this coherent integration. In turn, coherent integration of negative memories was expected to further facilitate adaptive emotion regulation strategies over time. Method A total of 303 participants took part in this longitudinal study. At Phase 1, they completed measures of emotion regulation and well‐being. Three months later, they described the memory of the most negative event they experienced since Phase 1, and completed measures assessing its integration. One month later, participants completed the well‐being measures again, and another month later, their emotion regulation was reassessed. Results Adaptive emotion regulation predicted adaptive memory integration, which in turn led to increases in well‐being and adaptive emotion regulation. Contrariwise, the incapacity to adaptively regulate emotions predicted poor memory integration, which in turn led to decreases in well‐being. Conclusion The way people regulate their negative emotions acts as an individual difference influencing how negative memories are integrated into the self, which can in return alter well‐being and emotion regulation capacity over time.

The treatment of emotional distress has stalled. There has been no improvement in depression outcomes for 30 years, and recent opinions have highlighted the lack of clear validity for the mechanisms involved in current models of complex psychological interventions. Emotional distress is a phenomenon that underpins a swathe of apparently diverse mental health conditions. Childhood trauma has been found to be endemic and common in those with poor psychological adjustment in adults. Executive processes cause a split between knowledge of an event and knowledge of its negative ongoing emotional effects so making integration of the memory of such events and resolution of its effects is a challenge. Recent research into the relationship between well-being and memory structures has converged with research into episodic memories and their key role in goal programming, giving an opportunity to describe a new model with plausible mechanisms for emotional distress, regulation, resilience, and recovery. Humans seek goals that fulfil their universal basic psychological need for self-determination, and the structures of memory networks drive behavioral algorithms that can satisfy or thwart that goal. We propose that a single underlying deficit in memory networks could underpin the psychopathology of emotional distress and that a new formulation of distress and recovery could drive a useful update on the mechanisms of psychological interventions with greater validity and utility for recovery and propose the NEMESIS ( Ne gative ME morie S I ntegration S ystems) model.
