Abstract
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression frequently co-occur following a traumatic event Differences in the processing of autobiographical memory have been observed in both disorders in the form of overgeneralised memories and negative intrusive memories The current study examined how symptoms of PTSD and depression influence the phenomenological characteristics of trauma memories Undergraduate students who had experienced a traumatic event (n = 696) completed questionnaires online including measures of PTSD and depressive symptom severity They rated their trauma memory on several phenomenological characteristics using the Memory Experiences Questionnaire [Sutin, A R, & Robins, R W (2007) Phenomenology of autobiographical memories: The memory experiences questionnaire Memory] Moderated multiple regression was used to examine how PTSD and depressive symptom severity related to each phenomenological characteristic Symptoms of PTSD and depression were related separately and un
