A robust empirical literature suggests that individual differences in the thematic and structural aspects of life narratives are associated with and predictive of psychological well-being. However, 1 limitation of the current field is the multitude of ways of capturing these narrative features, with little attention to overarching dimensions or latent factors of narrative that are responsible for these associations with well-being. In the present study we uncovered a reliable structure that accommodates commonly studied features of life narratives in a large-scale, multi-university collaborative effort. Across 3 large samples of emerging and midlife adults responding to various narrative prompts (N = 855 participants, N = 2,565 narratives), we found support for 3 factors of life narratives: motivational and affective themes, autobiographical reasoning, and structural aspects. We also identified a "functional" model of these 3 factors that reveals a reduced set of narrative features that adequately captures each factor. Additionally, motivational and affective themes was the factor most reliably related to well-being. Finally, associations with personality traits were variable by narrative prompt. Overall, the present findings provide a comprehensive and robust model for understanding the empirical structure of narrative identity as it relates to well-being, which offers meaningful theoretical contributions to the literature, and facilitates practical decision making for researchers endeavoring to capture and quantify life narratives.

叙事身份的经验结构:最初的三巨头。

大量可靠的经验文献表明,生活叙事的主题和结构方面的个体差异与心理幸福感相关并具有预测作用。然而,当前领域的一个局限性是捕捉这些叙事特征的多种方式,而很少关注叙事的总体维度或潜在因素,这些维度或叙事因素与幸福感相关。在本研究中,我们发现了一个可靠的结构,该结构在大规模,多大学合作的努力中可容纳生活叙事的常用特征。在对各种叙事提示做出反应的3个大型新兴和中年成年人样本中(N = 855名参与者,N = 2,565种叙事),我们发现支持以下三种生活叙事因素:动机和情感主题,自传推理和结构方面。我们还确定了这3个因素的“功能”模型,该模型揭示了减少的叙事特征集,可以充分捕捉每个因素。此外,动机和情感主题是与幸福感最相关的因素。最后,具有个性特征的联想因叙事提示而异。总体而言,本研究结果为理解与幸福相关的叙事身份的经验结构提供了一个全面而稳健的模型,这为文献提供了有意义的理论贡献,并为努力捕捉和量化生活叙事的研究人员提供了实用的决策依据。 。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2019 APA,保留所有权利)。动机和情感主题是与幸福感最相关的因素。最后,具有个性特征的联想因叙事提示而异。总体而言,本研究结果为理解与幸福相关的叙事身份的经验结构提供了一个全面而稳健的模型,这为文献提供了有意义的理论贡献,并为努力捕捉和量化生活叙事的研究人员提供了实用的决策依据。 。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2019 APA,保留所有权利)。动机和情感主题是与幸福感最相关的因素。最后,具有个性特征的联想因叙事提示而异。总体而言,本研究结果为理解与幸福相关的叙事身份的经验结构提供了一个全面而稳健的模型,这为文献提供了有意义的理论贡献,并为努力捕捉和量化生活叙事的研究人员提供了实用的决策依据。 。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2019 APA,保留所有权利)。本研究结果提供了一个全面而稳健的模型,用于理解与幸福相关的叙事身份的经验结构,这为文献提供了有意义的理论贡献,并为致力于捕捉和量化生活叙事的研究人员提供了实用的决策依据。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2019 APA,保留所有权利)。本研究结果提供了一个全面而稳健的模型,用于理解与幸福相关的叙事身份的经验结构,这为文献提供了有意义的理论贡献,并为致力于捕捉和量化生活叙事的研究人员提供了实用的决策依据。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2019 APA,保留所有权利)。
