ABSTRACT The concepts associated with sameness and difference are mostly laboratory-based and inefficient for handling the complexities associated with cultural ideology and social hierarchy. Women athletes’ memoirs that create a writer-reader pact and reflect on a real-life experience can prove valuable for examining the different concepts of sameness and difference. To impose a reconsideration of these two concepts, the psychologists C. R. Snyder and Howard L. Fromkin’s theory of uniqueness will be braided with Jennifer Pharr Davis’ memoir, Called Again (2013). I find it challenging to research an under-researched subject (Jennifer Pharr Davis) and field of study (extreme women trail hikers). The choice is set on Davis’ memoir because: 1) women are socially accused of deviation and nonconformity, 2) women’s memoirs are believed to be more confessional than men’s, and 3) Called Again traces three pursuits of difference while hiking the Appalachian Trail, which better serves the purpose of the study.

追求差异：詹妮弗·法尔·戴维斯的回忆录《再次呼唤，爱与胜利的故事》

摘要 与相同和不同相关的概念大多是基于实验室的，在处理与文化意识形态和社会等级相关的复杂性方面效率低下。女运动员的回忆录创造了作家与读者的契约并反思了现实生活中的经历，对于检验相同和不同的不同概念非常有价值。为了重新考虑这两个概念，心理学家 CR Snyder 和 Howard L. Fromkin 的独特性理论将与 Jennifer Pharr Davis 的回忆录，Called Again (2013) 交织在一起。我发现研究一个研究不足的主题（詹妮弗·法尔·戴维斯）和研究领域（极端女性徒步旅行者）具有挑战性。这个选择是在戴维斯的回忆录中设定的，因为：1）女性被社会指责为偏差和不合格，
