Abstract
In this study, the characteristics of autobiographical memory in traumatized individuals
were investigated by means of meta-analysis. Methods: Through literature search and examination using China
Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Database, Nation Library of China, PubMed, Science Direct, Google
Scholar, and ProQuest, 22 studies and 56 independent effect quantities were obtained, including a total of 1811
subjects. Meta-analysis was performed on this data. Results: The meta-analysis showed that the basic
characteristics of the autobiographical memory of traumatized individuals were the reduction of specific
autobiographical memory and the increase of generalized autobiographical memory. Female traumatized
individuals showed a greater reduction of specific autobiographical memory than male, and youth individuals
showed greater reduction of specific autobiographical memory than adult individuals. Gender and age showed no
significant influence with respect to generalized autobiographical memory. Conclusion: Traumatize individuals
express a reduction in specific autobiographical memory and an increase in generalized autobiographical
memory. In addition, the gender and age of the subjects can influence the quantitative expression of
autobiographical memory characteristics
