“…However, even at age 11 to 12 years, children's reports still are lacking in the causal connections (e.g., because, so that) that characterize older adolescents' and adults' narrative accounts (e.g., Bauer, Stark, Lukowski, Rademacher, Van Abbema, & Ackil, 2005;Habermas et al, 2010). In adolescence, individuals use their autobiographical memories to construct an extended life story or personal history (e.g., Bohn & Berntsen, 2008;Fivush & Zaman, 2014;Habermas & Bluck, 2000;Thomsen, 2009;see Bohn & Berntsen, 2014). The point of summarizing these changes is to illustrate the seeming arbitrariness of selecting any single development in verbal narrative behavior as indicative of the "onset" of autobiographical memory.…”

“…Beyond individual memories, developments in narrative skills also make possible construction of a life story or autobiography that weaves together the individual experiences of one's life into a sequence of temporally linked events (e.g., Brewer, 1980;Fivush et al, 2011;McAdams, 2001). Narrative evidence of this development becomes apparent only in adolescence (e.g., Bohn & Berntsen, 2008Fivush & Zaman, 2014;Habermas & Bluck, 2000).…”

This article extends psychological methods and concepts into a domain that is as profoundly consequential as it is poorly understood: intelligence analysis. We report findings from a geopolitical forecasting tournament that assessed the accuracy of more than 150,000 forecasts of 743 participants on 199 events occurring over 2 years. Participants were above average in intelligence and political knowledge relative to the general population. Individual differences in performance emerged, and forecasting skills were surprisingly consistent over time. Key predictors were (a) dispositional variables of cognitive ability, political knowledge, and openmindedness; (b) situational variables of training in probabilistic reasoning and participation in collaborative teams that shared information and discussed rationales (Mellers, Ungar, et al., 2014); and (c) behavioral variables of deliberation time and frequency of belief updating. We developed a profile of the best forecasters; they were better at inductive reasoning, pattern detection, cognitive flexibility, and open-mindedness. They had greater understanding of geopolitics, training in probabilistic reasoning, and opportunities to succeed in cognitively enriched team environments. Last but not least, they viewed forecasting as a skill that required deliberate practice, sustained effort, and constant monitoring of current affairs. A t APA, we understand how challenging it can be for you to stay abreast of the latest and best academic research on psychology.

“…McAdams (1993McAdams ( , 2001 proposed that identity is a life story, which begins to be formed in late adolescence (see also Habermas & Bluck, 2000). One of the guiding principles of the life story theory of identity is that life stories serve to make sense of one's past, present, and anticipated future and are partly constructed by making meaning of past experience.…”

Personally important autobiographical memories are the smallest unit of the life story, which begins to emerge in adolescence. This study examined 2 features of self-defining memories in late adolescence, the meaning made of the memories to garner an understanding of the narrative construction of identity as a life story and how those memories were told with an emphasis on the functions for telling and audiences to understand the social component of narrative identity development. For late adolescents (N ϭ 185), meaning was infrequently reported for the entertainment function in comparison with the self-explanation function. At later ages, adolescents' audiences were more likely to be peers, and at earlier ages, adolescents' audiences were more likely to be parents. Discussion focuses on the individual and social levels of identity construction that are apparent in personally important autobiographical memory narratives.

“…A adolescência seria o momento do desenvolvimento humano no qual convergem as habilidades cognitivas construídas ao longo da infância para produzir uma narrativa autobiográfi ca coerente (Fivush, 2008;Fivush & Baker-Ward, 2005;Fivush & Buckner, 1998;Fivush & Haden, 2003) e as demandas socioculturais para um posicionamento dentro da sociedade (Erikson, 1968;Habermas, 2007;Habermas & Bluck, 2000), as quais culminam na necessidade e na possibilidade de construção de uma identidade socioculturalmente situada. Segundo McAdams (1985McAdams ( , 2001) essa identidade organiza-se na forma de uma história de vida.…”

“…Fivush (2008) propõe que embora as narrativas dos eventos passados forneçam os tijolos para a construção da história de vida, a qual organiza esses eventos de maneira que eles possam ser avaliados e compreendidos, a forma das narrativas é culturalmente construída. Em primeiro lugar, as culturas defi nem o modelo de vida, quer na forma de life scripts (Bernsten & Rubin, 2004) ou de biografi as culturalmente canônicas (Habermas & Bluck, 2000). As culturas definem os períodos do desenvolvimento humano, tais como infância, maturidade, velhice em termos dos eventos apropriados a cada um deles: educação, casamento, gravidez, etc.…”

ResumoEste artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a perspectiva da construção narrativa do self e da identidade a partir da Psicologia Socio-histórica de L. S. Vygotsky, mostrando seu desenvolvimento na Psicologia Cultural, particularmente nos escritos de Jerome Bruner até autores contemporâneos, com destaque para os trabalhos de Hubert Hermans, Dan McAdams, Tilmann Habermas e Robyn Fivush. O conceito de self narrativo aparece como desenvolvimento do paradigma narrativo e como uma importante contribuição ao estudo da internalização das funções psicológicas superiores e à compreensão da construção do sujeito sócio-histórico. A identidade, como espaço de construção do sujeito psicológico parece ser um lócus privilegiado onde podemos observar o funcionamento do paradigma narrativo em termos de negociação de signifi cados entre os acontecimentos biográfi cos e o indivíduo. Palavras-chave: Narrativa, identidade, self dialógico, histórias de vida. AbstractThis paper aims to present the narrative construction of the self and the identity from the perspective of Vygotsky's Socio-historical Psychology. It also shows the development of narrative construction in Cultural Psychology, particularly in the writings of Jerome Bruner up to contemporary authors, highlighting the work of Hubert Hermans, Dan McAdams, Tilmann Habermas and Robyn Fivush. The concept of the narrative self appears as a development of the narrative paradigm and as an important contribution to the study of the internalization of higher psychological functions and to the understanding of the construction of the socio-historical subject. The identity as a space for the construction of the psychological subject seems to be a privileged place where we can observe the development of the narrative paradigm in terms of negotiation of meaning between biographical events and the individual. Keywords: Narrative, identity, dialogical self, life stories.A abordagem narrativa do self e da identidade consolidou-se recentemente no campo da psicologia a partir dos escritos de Hermans e Kempen (1993) e McAdams (2001). Ela tem como princípio a ideia de que a história contada por uma pessoa acerca de sua vida pode ser tomada como um retrato de seu próprio self e de sua identidade. Em uma abordagem narrativa, os conceitos de identidade e self aparecem muito próximos um do outro. McAdams (2001) faz questão de marcar a diferença, na medida em que concebe identidade como uma qualidade do self, isto é, como "uma confi guração integrativa do self no mundo adulto" (p. 102). A identidade é aqui defi nida como a integração sincrônica e diacrônica do self capaz de situar a pessoa em algum nicho psicossocial e dar um mínimo de propósito e sentido a sua vida. Em Hermans e Kempen (1993) identidade e self aparecem aglutinados no conceito de self formulado por William James (1890). James concebe o self como organizado em torno de um sujeito que conhece (ou I) e um objeto que se dá a conhecer (ou Me). As características do I são a continuidade, a diferenciação e a volição. A continuidade é ca...
