“…Bohn, 2011]. There was also a tendency for the acquisition of the life script to correlate with the elaboration of beginnings and endings of life narratives [Bohn & Berntsen, 2008Habermas et al, 2009]. Although one study found that the acquisition of the life script was achieved by age 16 and did not increase after that, it is not clear when the life script begins to be acquired.…”

“…Short entire life narratives have been collected orally in two developmental German samples with ages 12, 15, and 18 [Habermas & Paha, 2001] and with ages 8, 12, 16, and 20 at the beginning of an eight-year longitudinal study [for cross-sectional evidence, cf. Habermas & de Silveira, 2008;Habermas, Diel, & Welzer, 2013;Habermas, Ehlert-Lerche, & de Silveira, 2009; for the longitudinal confirmation, cf. Köber et al, 2015].…”

The life story is a special cognitive-communicative format which allows understanding persons from a biographical perspective through autobiographical reasoning and life narrating. Reviewing research on the development of the life story from the past 15 years, we clarify the conceptual and developmental specificity of the life story by comparing it to single event stories, and the specificity of autobiographical reasoning by comparing it to other forms of reasoning. To support the claim that the life story emerges only in adolescence, we review the earlier development of self and autobiographical remembering leading up to the life story. We outline the significance of autobiographical reasoning for bridging biographical ruptures, and we discuss the meaning of the cultural context for the development of the life story and its functionality. Finally, we suggest major developmental research questions that remain to be pursued.

“…Whereas the three types of linguistic coherence can be measured within a life narrative (Habermas & de Silveira, 2008;Habermas & Paha, 2001), only some aspects of the cultural concept of biography can be measured, for example, by looking at the development of beginnings and endings of life stories (Habermas, Ehlert-Lerche, & de Silveira, 2009). A more direct way to measure those aspects of the cultural concept of biography concerned with the temporal order of major life events is the cultural life script, introduced by Rubin (2002, 2004;Rubin & Berntsen, 2003).…”

Normative ideas of life and autobiographical reasoning in life narratives

Autobiographical reasoning is closely related to the development of normative ideas about life as measured by the cultural life script. The acquisition of a life script is an important prerequisite for autobiographical reasoning because children learn through the life script which events are expected to go into their life story, and when to expect certain events in life. Thus, the cultural life script not only helps organize autobiographical memories, but it also guides expectations for our future life stories. Therefore, the cultural life script should be considered the overarching principle of organizing autobiographical memories across the lifespan.

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...
