This study was designed to investigate the positive bias and the fading affect bias (FAB) during recall of emotional autobiographical memory, and the differences of these biases among undergraduate students (N=85) by the Self-esteem scale, the Psychological well-being scale, the Thinking about life event scale, and the Big Five scale. This study also examined whether reconstruction of emotional autobiographical memory might correlate to false recall and false recognition generated by the DRM paradigm. The result revealed the followings. 1) Difference between positive estimation and negative estimation of negative experience was smaller than that between those of positive experience. 2) Correlation analysis showed that during recall of positive experience, emotional intensity positively correlated to positive estimation, and negatively correlated to negative estimation. 3) Self-esteem and extroversion positively correlated to recall of positive autobiographical memory and emotional estimation of it. 4) False recall ratio and false recognition ratio did not correlate to any measure of reconstruction of emotional auto-biographical memory. Taken together, these results suggest that younger adults generally show reconstruction of positive experience from negative one, and that the reconstruction of emotional autobiographical memory and the association memory error by the DRM paradigm do not appear to be equivalent.
