Narrative psychology emphasizes the role of culture in shaping identities. Less attention has been paid to how individuals resist culture. Specifically, two aspects have remained understudied: the diverse forms of doing narrative resistance and the navigation between different types of master narratives involved in the process. The present study aimed to fill these gaps by examining the personal stories of former residents of Yamit, an Israeli region in the Sinai Peninsula that was evacuated following the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. Holistic narrative analysis of the personal stories revealed three strategies of resisting the episodic master narrative of Yamit established in Israeli society – explicit debate, implicit debate, and neutralization – which differ in the relative weight of my/our story and the story about us. To remain within the Israeli consensus, resistance to the episodic master narrative was intertwined with appropriation of the Zionist foundational master narrative. The study demonstrates that narrative resistance can take diverse forms and simultaneously involve compliance with and resistance to different types of master narratives. Investigating these two findings offers a nuanced understanding of counter‐narratives as multifaceted, illuminating the complex relationships between personal stories and culture.

进行叙事抵抗的三种策略：在主叙事之间导航

叙事心理学强调文化在塑造身份中的作用。人们对个人如何抵抗文化的关注较少。具体而言，仍然需要研究两个方面：进行叙事抵抗的形式多种多样，以及过程中涉及的不同主要叙事类型之间的导航。本研究旨在通过研究以色列和埃及之间的和平协议后撤离的西奈半岛以色列地区亚米特（Yamit）前居民的个人故事来填补这些空白。对个人故事的整体叙事分析揭示了三种抵制情节主叙事的策略在以色列社会中建立的Yamit的成员-明确辩论，隐含辩论和中和-在我/我们的故事和关于我们的故事的相对权重方面不同。为了保持在以色列的共识之内，对偶发性主叙事的抵抗与对犹太复国主义基础主叙事的挪用交织在一起。研究表明，叙事抵抗可以采取多种形式，同时涉及对不同类型的主叙事的顺从和抵抗。对这两个发现的研究提供了对反叙事多角度的细微理解，阐明了个人故事与文化之间的复杂关系。
