Expected Results
An Independent T-test will be run to yield results that
individuals who report having recovered and repressed memories of childhood
sexual abuse will be more likely to confuse imagined and performed
actions. They will make more mistakes (false
alarms) then those who had no or continuous memories of abuse.
An ANOVA will be run to yield results that individuals who
report having recovered and repressed memories of childhood sexual abuses, that
have high vividness ratings for imagined actions, will be more likely to
confuse their imaginations with their performed actions.
Future research should be done to see the effect of reality
monitoring deficiencies on emotional events and episodic memories.
