The tendency to disclose redemptive stories (negative beginnings, positive endings) is associated with indicators of flourishing. The success of any examination of redemption relies on the methods adopted. Here, we introduce three novel techniques to assess redemption: (a) directly request redemptive stories, (b) directly request participants rate the degree of redemption in their stories, and (c) quantify the degree of redemption in stories using trained coders. We noted a relation between the self-reported tendency to view one’s life as a story and the degree of redemption in stories (Study 1), and self-other consensus in perceptions of this content, with both corresponding with life satisfaction (Study 2). This work expands the methodological toolbox from which to draw in study of redemption.

披露救赎故事（消极的开始，积极的结局）的倾向与繁荣的指标有关。任何赎回审查的成功取决于所采用的方法。在这里，我们介绍了三种评估赎回的新技术：（a）直接请求赎回故事，（b）直接要求参与者评价他们故事中的赎回程度，以及（c）使用训练有素的编码人员量化故事中的赎回程度。我们注意到自我报告的将自己的生活视为故事的倾向与故事中的救赎程度（研究 1），以及对这一内容的看法的自我他人共识之间的关系，两者都与生活满意度相对应（研究 2） . 这项工作扩展了研究救赎的方法工具箱。
