The Emotional Effect And Self Or Professional Reference Effect Of College Students' False Memory:the Influence Of Professional Identity

Memory is the maintenance and reappearance of the past experience by the human brain,a false memory,that people can't make a real reduction of what had happened in the past and unconsciously produce deviations.In recent years,studies had found that emotional material and self related information could enhance memory effect,but at the same time,it also induced the production of false memory,that was emotional effect and self-reference effects.In recent years it was also the beginning of memory group-reference effect research,but relatively lack,and especially research of group-reference effect of false memory.The memory of the group-reference research were mostly the identity of social groups such as national,ethnic and school,so that needs have a research from the perspective of the other group reference,and the relationship between self reference and reference to the group.This study set a group reference condition from a professional perspective and examined the influence of professional identity.The two experiments in the study adopted the centralized associative(DRM)paradigm and combined the Remember / know(R/K)paradigm of self and group reference.The first experiment was,3(reference conditions: self,professional and semantic)* 3(emotional valence: positive,neutral and negative),two factors within subjects design.The dependent variables were the correct recognition rate of the learned words and the error recognition rate of the key bait words,which investigated the influence of reference conditions and material emotional item recognition on false memory.The results were as follows:(1)the correct recognition rate of positive and negative words and the error recognition rate of key bait words were significantly higher than those of neutral words.(2)the correct recognition rate of learned words and error recognition rate of key bait words under the conditions of self and professional reference were significantly higher than those of semantic reference,and there was no significant difference between the self reference and the professional reference.The second experiment was,4(reference condition: self,professional groups,professional groups and semantic)* 2(professional identity: high,low),two factors mixed experimental design,the dependent variables were the correct recognition rate of learned words and error recognition rate of the key bait words,to further explore the students' false memory self and group reference effects,and investigate the role of professional identity.The results were as follows:(1)the correct recognition rate of learned words and the error recognition rate of key bait words,under the conditions of self reference and professional group reference,were significantly higher than those of foreign group reference and semantic reference,and there was no significant difference between the self reference and the professional group reference,as well as between the professional group reference and the semantic reference.(2)at the same time,the correct recognition rate and the error recognition rate of the key bait words under the professional group reference conditions were significantly higher than those of the professional outside group,while the low professional identity people had no significant difference.The following conclusions were drawn through this experiment.(1)The real memory and false memory of college students all had emotional effects.Emotional information can enhance the effect of memory and promote the production of wrong memory.(2)The real memory and false memory of college students all had self reference effect and professional reference effect.The memory information related to self related and major can enhance the effect of memory,but it also promoted the production of false memory.The memory information related to this profession has the same memory effect as the self related memory information,and it also caused more false memories.(3)the degree of professional identification would affect the professional reference effect of the real memory and false memory of the college students,the professional identity was high,the information memory effect related to the professional was good,and the wrong memory was also high.Professional identity was low,and real memory and false memory did not show professional reference effect.
