Abstract

YACOUB, Isadora Baumgratz Delgado  and  JUSTI, Francis Ricardo dos Reis. A relação do fading affect bias com o humor e a memória episódicaThe relation between the fading affect bias, mood and episodic memory. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.3, pp. 111-132. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2020.v14.30616.

The fading affect bias (FAB) works in human autobiographical memory in favour of the maintenance of positive emotions over negative ones. This study questioned whether this mechanism could be influenced by depression and if it could also be found in episodic memory. 55 volunteers registered personal positive and negative life events for a week, filled the Beck Depression Inventory and performed a recognition memory test with positive, neutral and negative words. The results suggested the depressed mood could influence the well functioning of the FAB and damage the maintenance of positive emotions in memory. The effects on the episodic memory were less conclusive.

Keywords : Fading Affect Bias; Episodic Memory; Autobiographical Memory; Depression; Affect.
