Abstract
To examine effects of trait resilience and emotion on memory, participants watched an event, rated the events' emotionality, and recalled the event. When the event was considered highly emotional, less resilient individuals recalled more details than high resilient individuals. The opposite was found when the event was considered less emotional.
