الملخص EN

The current research aimed to examine the validity of the theoretical assumptions of the emotional-integrative model in forming flashbulb memory by determining the factorial structure of flashbulb memory dimensions on a sample of male and female university students in the Arab environment, and to study the difference in the factorial structure of flashbulb memory dimensions with different gender (male – female).

The research sample included (307) male and female students (of whom 114 male and female students were 193) at the Faculty of Education - Beni Suef University.

the results showed the validity of the underlying structure or structure loading of the flashbulb memory test, and that the dimensions of the flashbulb memory are a single factor loading around which the eight dimensions of flashbulb memory (Flashbulb memory attributes, Original event memory, Rehearsal, Emotional reactions, Surprise, Novelty, Importance/consequentiality, Affective attitude) are organized, meaning that the results supported the separate structure of the original event memory from the flashbulb memory on the Arab environment, which supports the theoretical assumptions of the emotional - integrative model in forming flashbulb memory.

The results also showed that all dimensions of flashbulb memory were equal to the saturations of the single factor loading for the flashbulb memory test in the male and female samples, and the difference in error variances (measurement errors in the flashbulb memory dimensions) for all dimensions of flashbulb memory by the single factor loading for the flashbulb memory test in the male and female samples.
