In recent years, more and more psychologists began to get involved in autobiographical memory research areas. Clinical psychology researchers found that people with depression and mood disorders autobiographical memory over-generalization. In the memory test, the patient can not be required to describe the specific memory of the events, can only make abstract or category of generalization memory, which greatly reduces the ability of patients to solve the problem, but also weakened the desire and confidence in their problem-solving, damages their normal social function. Previous literature is to explore adult patients with depression, little research on minors autobiographical memory. Good junior high school students is not yet mature psychological development can not regulate their emotions more volatile, with academic pressure are prone to anxiety, depression and negative emotions such a long time in negative emotions easily individuals with a predisposition to depression, so the above factors, this study selected from the junior high predisposition to depression as a test, explore depressed individuals autobiographical memory is a generalization tendency; whether it will affect the mood of depressed individuals autobiographical memory generalization; When subjects in a negative mood, different ways of responding generalization of autobiographical memory. The experiment was divided into three parts: the first experiment explored the characteristics of the depressed individuals autobiographical memory; Experiment II study would affect the mood of depressed individuals autobiographical memory generalization, whether the impact of different students different degree of depression, the authors believe that negative emotions will increase the degree of depression students autobiographical memory generalization leads to this study on the basis of experiments, when depressed individuals in a negative emotional experience, Nolen-Hoeksema, who founded the 45 projects distraction and meditation reaction task , the subjects were asked to imagine these entries full 8 minutes, then autobiographical memory test, explore the distraction and contemplation reaction was emotional and autobiographical memory.
