Is there a self-referent mood-congruent recall bias in anxiety?

K Mogg et al. Behav Res Ther. 1990.

Abstract

Generally anxious patients and normal controls were compared on their recall of self- vs other-referenced adjectives that were either descriptive or non-descriptive of anxious mood. The results failed to confirm a self-referent mood-congruent recall bias in anxious patients. Anxious subjects tended to recall relatively more mood-congruent words overall, but this could be explained by response bias.
