“…These conceptual developments are important to keep in mind as one examines the methodology of narrative inquiry. In conceptualizing discourse as social practice Scheuer (2003) depicted the social agent as creative yet socially determined. The possibility of both freedom and constraint is given in a cultural view of human existence.…”

“…She also pointed to the social costs of desilencing in the case of oppressed women who have loyalties to their subcultures. Coming from a critical discourse perspective, Scheuer (2003) discussed the need to balance political interpretation with contextual, linguistic, and sociohistorical analysis. When description ends and ideological rhetoric begins is a judgment call.…”

Narratological research is defined in relation to narrative theory and a cultural psychology perspective. Narrative concepts and methodology are explained, including the configural mode of understanding and principles of narrative analysis. Examples of application in psychological and counseling research are presented, with a discussion of issues of validity and voice. Suggestions are made on how narrative studies are to be evaluated. It is concluded that narratological research, with its focus on meanings and the storied nature of human life, can be especially useful in discovery research on identity development and the experience of counseling and life transitions.This article addresses the narrative paradigm for research, with a focus on narratology, narrative theory, and cultural psychology. In view of the fact that most qualitative research involves the collection and analysis of narrative data, the term narratology is used here to distinguish inquiry approaches that are informed by narrative theory and cultural psychology from other forms of qualitative research presented in this special issue. Granted that there are similarities between the various qualitative research paradigms, with a general philosophical preference for a social constructionist view of knowledge, qualitative inquiry can be largely inductive and not necessarily guided by narrative theory. Narrative inquiry, however, can be regarded as being on a continuum with the type of knowing involved in counseling practice when we listen for meanings and patterns in what clients say about themselves and their lives.One of the goals of this article was to explicate narrative theory and to locate it in the perspective of cultural psychology. Another was to discuss the implications of narrative theory and narratology for domains relevant to counseling. It should be stated at the outset that there is no unified narrative theory, but rather narrative concepts and principles that can be applied when conducting qualitative research. In exploring the possibilities of a narrative framework for the human sciences and its potential value in counseling research, it is recognized that narratological approaches to psychological research are still evolving. Narratological inquiry is in need of further definition under shared philosophical assumptions and communal standards. As I explain subsequently, narrative perspectives entail particular ontological assumptions about the nature of narrative accounts and human discourse in context. Being a qualitative methodology, it should not be expected to reflect the level of standardization as in experimental research.I begin here with the multidisciplinary literature on narrative study, as it offers definitions of a narrative, narrative concepts, and perspectives on interpretive validity and other issues in narrative inquiry.

“…Moreover, expressions of emotional attachment to one's job imply honest feelings, as opposed to pragmatic career calculation (Scheuer, 2003). This may be why the interviewers in this study seemed to value candidates' demonstrations of enthusiasm for their job.…”

Success in job interviews depends largely on the interviewers' favourable opinion of the candidates' presentation, and how well candidates have managed to build solidarity with their interviewers. This article explores the ways in which candidates shape their talk to interact interpersonally with their interviewers, so as to construct affiliation and solidarity. Drawing on Systemic Functional Linguistics Appraisal theory, in particular its system of Attitude, this article examines a set of authentic job interviews in French, or French and English. The interview analyses are complemented by the candidates' comments on the impressions they had tried to convey and the interviewers' comments about their impressions of the candidates. The analysis identifies two strategies whereby candidates may construct affiliation and solidarity with their interviewers: expressing their enthusiasm for and interest in their work and profession, and demonstrating their professional ability. It also highlights the damaging effect of expressing negative feelings and opinions.

“…Moreover, Hoshmand (2005) argued that selves must be cognizant of power dynamics between participant and researcher (Polkinghorne, 2005), selves should not romanticize marginalized voices (Fine, 1992), and, using critical discourse theory, selves must balance political agendas with situational, historical, social, cultural, and linguistic analysis (Scheuer, 2003).…”
