| Research Abstract |
In two years, I examined the influence of the present life style on intentional remembering and suppression of unwanted memories and it's the strategies for 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s elderly groups. The results suggest that as feeling of well-being declined, the subjective time of the negative event were also deceased. Moreover, 70s, 80s elderly female participants in low life events less tried to forget and used the thought substitution strategy than that in high life events, but not in middle age group. These results suggest that elderly groups who have many life events can try to forget unwanted memories by using any strategies in order to avoid thinking of it, but not that those who have few life events.
