The Effect Of Conscientiousness In Different Emotional States On The Emotional Consistency Of Prospective Memory

Prospective memory is a memory that refers to future activities,and it is a memory of activities and events to be completed in the future.Emotional congruence memory refers to individuals experiencing a special mood,when they have selected contact and learned emotional titer similar materials,and tend to explain this experience in the same mood,that is,more easily memorize to materials that are in accordance with their emotional base and are not consistent with their own emotional tone(Bazin,1991).In the background of the research on the relationship between emotion and cognition,the research on the relationship between emotion and prospective memory,especially the relationship with prospective memory,has attracted the attention of researchers.Besides,conscientious may be the factors that affect the emotional consistency of prospective memory.Conscientiousness is a personality trait that governs one's actions according to conscience.Conscientious.Therefore,it is necessary to explore the influence of conscientiousness on emotional consistency in prospective memory under different emotional states.In this study,three experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of due diligence on the mood conformance of prospective memory in different emotional states by using a combination of questionnaires and experimental methods.There are two types of emotional congruence:the emotional consistency of the current task and the prospective task and the emotional consistency of the emotional background and the prospective task.Experiment 1 is to investigate the effect of due diligence on event based prospective memory.The basic situation of different conscientious subjects is described and analyzed.The differences of current task performance and prospective memory performance of different conscientious subjects are analyzed,which lays the foundation for the relationship between experiment 1 and experiment 2 to explore the relationship between due diligence and the emotional consistency of prospective memory.In experiment 2,2(the emotional valence of the current task:positive and negative)×3(the emotional valence of prospective memory:positive emotion words,neutral mood words and negative emotion words)were designed between two factors.The current task was a judgment task of emotional words,and prospective memory task was a response to specific emotional words.In the dual task paradigm,to investigated whether there is emotional consistency effect and the relationship between conscientiousness and prospective memory in current tasks and prospective tasks.In experiment 3,2(emotional background:happy,angry)x3(the emotional valence of prospective memory:positive emotional words,neutral mood words and negative emotion words)were designed between two factors,using video to induce happiness and anger.The current task was to learn historical allusions and answer questions,and prospective tasks were specific responses to some kind of emotional words.To explore the emotional consistency effect of emotional background and prospective tasks,and the influence of conscientiousness on prospective memory.Study one shows that the scores of the current memory tasks are significantly higher than those of prospective memory,and the high performance of the two tasks are higher than those of the low conscientious ones.Study two shows that in the current task performance,on the current task emotional valence,positive emotion is greater than negative emotion.On the prospective memory task emotional valence,positive emotion and negative emotion are higher than neutral emotion.In the prospective memory task performance,the positive-positive group is greater than the negative-positive group,the positive-positive group is larger than the positive-netural group,and the negative-negative group is larger than the negative-netural group.Study three shows that in the current task performance,the positive-positive group is greater than the negative positive group,and the negative-negative group is larger than the positive negative group.In the prospective task performance,the negative-positive group is larger than the positive group,and the positive-negative group is larger than the negative-negative group.According to the above study,we know that:(1)the higher the individual's conscientiousness score,the better the current memory task and prospective memory task.(2)emotional congruence between emotional task types and prospective task types.(3)there is an anti-consistency effect between the emotional type and the prospective task,and the current memory task performance and the prospective task performance are mutually longer.(4)the result of experiment two accords with the multiple processing model,and the result of experiment three accords with the attention search model and the multiple processing model.
