Attachment styles (e.g., attachment avoidance, attachment anxiety), with their different coping strategies and themes, guide information processing as a relational schema. However, these processes can be cognitively demanding for individuals and can place a burden on cognitive capacity, particularly when recalling memories specific to romantic relationships. In this study, we investigated whether the way individuals recall relationship memories mediates the link between romantic attachment and subsequent difficulty in inhibiting emotional and attachment-related information. Participants (N = 93; 57 females, 36 males; M =20.84; SD=1.09) first indicated their attachment representations and reported positive and negative relationship memories. After rating the recollective features (e.g., vividness, emotional intensity, reliving) of memories, they completed an emotional Stroop task with emotional- and attachment-related words. According to the structural equation modeling (SEM), we found a full mediation for attachment avoidance and anxiety, showing that high avoidance was linked with lower recollection of relationship memories, but this resulted in higher interference, particularly for negative attachment-related words on the Stroop task. However, high anxiety was linked with higher recollection, which then resulted in lower interference, particularly for negative attachment-related words. Findings supported the role of remembering in guiding and regulating further information processing. We will discuss the applied implications, focusing on how the self-regulation function of autobiographical remembering may inform the cognitive interventions for relationship functioning.
