Autobiographical memory plays a critical role in an individual's psychological functioning through the construction of a personal history that relates the self through the past,present and the future.The research of autobiographical memory can deepen our understanding of people's memory characteristics and mental states.This research uses The Memory Experiences Questionnaire to explore the characteristics of autobiographical memory in different emotional states of people with different levels of well-being.This study can enrich the research materials of the characteristics of autobiographical memory in normal population,and examine the relationship between the emotional and the autobiographical memory,which enriches the evidence for the study of subjective well-being and autobiographical memory.There are three experiments in the research.First,examine reliability and Validity in the Chinese version of MEQ-SF and the characteristics of autobiographical memory of people with different level of well-being under moderate emotional intensity;second,characteristics of autobiographical memory after induced by positive emotion in different level of well-being;thirdly,characteristics of autobiographical memory after induced by negative emotion in different level of well-being.The results show that: 1.The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the Chinese version of MEQ-SF is 0.822,and there is a good internal consistency coefficient in the questionnaire.The fitting index obtained by CFA are CFI 0.906,IFI0.908,GFI 0.806,X2 /df 1.815,RMSEA 0.063,all of which fit the requirements of the survey.2.In moderate emotional,the higher level of well-being with more intensity and higher positive emotional proportion in autobiographical memory.The content of autobiographical memory is more vivid and clear,and it is easier to recall.The people with higher well-being have more first person perspective than those of the middle level in memory.3 After the positive emotion induced,the positive emotions in the high well-being level were higher,stronger,more vivid and clear,and more inclined to recall from the first person perspective,as the same as low well-being person.The content of memories is more vivid and clear.4.After the induction of negative emotions,the negative emotions in the low well-being level are higher,stronger,and more inclined to recall from the first person perspective.And the contents of recall are more vivid,specific and clear.The people with high level of well-being were induced by negative emotions,although their emotional intensity decreased significantly,but there was no significant difference in the proportion of emotions.The accessibility and vividness of the recollection content were reduced,and people would not like share the memories with other one.
