Dr. Stephen Black:
Research: Suicide,
Repressed memory, False memory, Flashbulb memory
1. Suicide: In the past I
have investigated the nature of suicidal thinking through the
examination of suicide notes from both suicide attempters and
completers. Currently I am interested in the decision processes
of coroners and other medico-legal professionals in making suicide
death determinations.
2. Repressed, false, and flashbulb
memory: I am interested in the personality correlates and
individual differences associated with the occurrence of "repressed"
and false memories. Recently I have explored the influence of
emotional state on the occurrence of flashbulb memories.
