The present study examined the difference in the effects of autobiographical elaboration on incidental memory between participants of high level of emotional intelligence and those of low level of emotional intelligence. Participants were required to complete the Japanese version of emotional skills and competence questionnaire (Toyota, Morita & Taksic, 2007) to assess the level of emotional intelligence. Then they were asked to rate pleasantness of the episodes in the past or those in the future that each target reminded it of followed by unexpected free recall tests. For the targets with the episodes in the past, participants with high emotional intelligence and low emotional intelligence recalled targets with pleasant and unpleasant episodes more than those with neutral ones. Whereas for the targets with the episodes in the future, participants with high emotional intelligence recalled the targets with pleasant and unpleasant episodes more than those with neutral ones, but participants with low emotional intelligence recalled targets equally across the pleasant, neutral and unpleasant episodes. These results were interpreted as showing that participants with low level of emotional intelligence had a difficulty of processing emotional attributes in the episodes in the future, because they could not imagine the emotion that would be included in the episodes in the future.
