Abstract(s)
Sabe-se que a depressão afeta o funcionamento cognitivo bem comos os vieses de
memória que promovem uma boa saúde mental. O Fading Affect Bias (FAB) é um viés de
memória autobiográfica em que a intensidade da emoção associada aos eventos se desvanece
com o tempo, sendo mais rápida para os acontecimentos negativos. Estudos anteriores sugerem
que a depressão afeta o efeito do FAB, fazendo com que os eventos negativos desvaneçam mais
lentamente, e acelerando esse processo para os eventos positivos. À medida que a investigação
sobre o FAB continua a crescer, afigura-se importante a agregação da informação existente de
forma a melhor informar o que se encontra por responder e a solidificar o que já se sabe. Assim,
o presente trabalho pretende, através de uma revisão sistemática, consolidar a informação da
literatura sobre a associação entre o FAB e a depressão. No presente estudo, é explorada a
associação entre o FAB e a depressão. São discutidas futuras implicações de investigação e
prática.
ABSTRACT: Depression is known to affect cognitive processing and memory biases that promote good mental health. The Fading Affect Bias (FAB) is an autobiographical memory bias where the emotional intensity associated with events fades over time, with faster fading for the negative events. Depression is known to alter the FAB effect, making negative events fade slower and positive events faster. As FAB research continues to grow, it is important to aggregate information to understand what is known and what is still unanswered. Therefore, a systematic review is warranted to help consolidate the literature on the association between FAB and depression, as well as compile the findings of previous work. In the present study, the association between FAB and depression is explored. Future research and clinical implications are discussed.
