Se aborda el estudio de la influencia de las variables afectivas en el recuerdo autobriográfico. Dos son las variables independientes manipuladas: el estado de ánimo inducido (triste vs. alegre) y las instrucciones de recuerdo (subjetivo y emocional vs. frío y objetivo). Como variables dependientes se emplean diversos Indices de Recuerdo elaborados por la autora, y el tipo de perspectiva (observador vs. personal) desde la que los sujetos recuerdan cada suceso. Los resultados muestran una clara interacción entre el estado de ánimo inducido y las instrucciones de recuerdo sobre la elección de una u otra perspectiva de recuerdo. Los sujetos prefieren una perspectiva Observador para sus recuerdos más emotivos, y optan por una Personal para los menos dolorosos.
