It is well documented that individuals' mental health can be reflected in autobiographical memories. But in those cases mainly in clinical studies with young adults diagnosed with depression and/or anxiety disorders as participants.

This study will contribute to a better understanding of mentally healthy adults' memory of the pandemic.
