Abstract：
Recent theoretical perspectives have advanced that autobiographical memory processes are supported by interoception, the perception of internal bodily sensations. Yet, this relationship remains largely underexplored. The present study addressed this critical gap in the literature by systematically investigating the association between self-reported Interoceptive Sensibility and various individual differences measures of autobiographical memory. In Study 1, using a correlational approach in a large sample of participants (N = 247), we identified significant correlations between standardised measures of interoception and the general experience of autobiographical memory and the frequency of involuntary mental time travel. These associations remained significant even after controlling for potential confounding factors in terms of age, gender, and trait affectivity, underscoring their robustness. Study 2 replicated and extended the associations identified in Study 1 in another large participant sample (N = 257), further validating them by accounting for the potential confounding effect of well-being. Our findings demonstrate that individuals\' ability to perceive and understand bodily signals robustly relates to how they experience autobiographical memories. By adopting an exploratory approach based on individual differences, our results provide novel and concrete insights into the association between interoception and autobiographical memory, providing a strong foundation for future investigations into the causal mechanisms connecting these two constructs.
摘要：
最近的理论观点已经提出，自传记忆过程是由相互感受支持的，对身体内部感觉的感知。然而，这种关系在很大程度上仍未得到充分探索。本研究通过系统地调查自我报告的互感情感与自传记忆的各种个体差异之间的关联，解决了文献中的这一关键差距。在研究1中，在大量参与者(N=247)中使用相关方法，我们确定了交互感觉的标准化测量与自传记忆的一般体验以及非自愿精神时间旅行的频率之间的显着相关性。即使在控制了年龄方面的潜在混杂因素后，这些关联仍然显着。性别,和特质情感，强调他们的稳健性。研究2在另一个大型参与者样本中复制并扩展了研究1中确定的关联（N=257），通过考虑福祉的潜在混杂效应来进一步验证它们。我们的发现表明，个体感知和理解身体信号的能力与他们如何体验自传记忆密切相关。通过采用基于个体差异的探索性方法，我们的研究结果提供了新的和具体的见解之间的关联的相互感受和自传记忆，为将来研究连接这两种结构的因果机制提供了坚实的基础。
