Relationship between cognitive avoidant coping and changes in overgeneral autobiographical memory retrieval following an acute stressor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether avoidance coping predicted anxious and depressive symptoms prospectively in a nonclinical sample, and found that Time 1 anxious symptoms predicted both cognitive and behavioral avoidance coping at Time 2, and Time 1 cognitive avoidance coping was associated with increased depressive symptoms at time 2.

TL;DR: The most anxious patients retrieved fewer emotional details for memories than the controls, and had lower self-representation scores than the least anxious patients, who had no deficits in emotional detail retrieval.

TL;DR: The overgeneral recall of autobiographical memory by patients with schizophrenia could be attributed to working memory, the disturbing concept of self, and the cuing method implemented.

TL;DR: Despite having mildly disabilities, participants reported difficulties developing illness beliefs conducive to coping, and dealing with their emotional responses, which should be considered in tailored programs to improve coping with hidden disabilities post-stroke.

TL;DR: The results suggest that gender, genetics and nicotine consumption can influence the individual's stress responsiveness to psychological stress while personality traits showed no correlation with cortisol responses to TSST stimulation.

TL;DR: Research showing that when recalling autobiographical events, many emotionally disturbed patients summarize categories of events rather than retrieving a single episode is reviewed, with a focus on M. Pleydell-Pearce's hierarchical search model of personal event retrieval.

TL;DR: This article examined both hedonic and non-hedonic aspects of autobiographical memory in people who had recently attempted suicide by overdose, and found that the bias was largely due to delayed retrieval of positive memories rather than speeded retrieval of negative memories.
