Developing a different voice
OBJECTIVE: To explore the psychobiographical origins of Carol Gilligan's sensitivity to the importance of voice in human psychology, an awareness that, through her foundational written work, transformed the field. METHOD: Narrative inquiry and analysis. RESULTS: Carol Gilligan's awareness of voice began at a young age with a self-defining memory in which she learned to hold on to her own voice and experience. She never set out to be a social chan…
Essentials of narrative analysis.
Mary Gergen (1938–2020)
Memorializes Mary Gergen (1938-2020). Gergen led from the margins and reimagined psychol ogy, bringing a path-breaking sensibility to the study of gen der, questioning the essentialism rampant in the 1980s, and demonstrating that gender is a social construction. As she extended her ideas about gender, she saw a need for new methods and, influenced by constructionist thought, embraced qualitative forms of inquiry. She was a prolific scholar, publi…
Journal article reporting standards for qualitative primary, qualitative meta-analytic, and mixed methods research in psychology
The American Psychological Association Publications and Communications Board Working Group on Journal Article Reporting Standards for Qualitative Research (JARS-Qual Working Group) was charged with examining the state of journal article reporting standards as they applied to qualitative research and with generating recommendations for standards that would be appropriate for a wide range of methods within the discipline of psychology. These standa…

Eriksonian Personality Research and Its Implications for Psychotherapy
E rikson's comprehensive theory of human development has been empirically validated by personality researchers who have taken a status approach to the adult stages of the life cycle: Identity, Intimacy, Generativity, and Integrity. An understanding of these stages has implications for psychotherapy. E rikson's theory provides a descriptive language for where the individual stands currently within a psychosocial developmental context, where he/she…

The Present of the Past
This study analyzes the self‐constructing meanings of an autobiographical episode in the life of one woman told at repeated intervals over 35 years. It demonstrates the ways in which the present constructs the past and shows how autobiographical memory may be used dialogically to create and contrast with current self‐constructions, to disavow intolerable aspects of self, and to preserve disused but valued self‐representations. Memories, in this s…

The Ethical Attitude in Narrative Research
Identity and story
In Identity and Story: Creating Self in Narrative, the fourth volume in the series Narrative Study of Lives, Dan P. McAdams, Ruthellen Josselson, and Amia Lieblich bring together an interdisciplinary and international group of creative researchers and theorists to examine the way the stories we tell create our identities. An increasing number of psychologists argue that people living in modern societies give meaning to their lives by constructing…
Identity and story
"An increasing number of psychologists argue that people give meaning to their lives by constructing and internalizing self-defining stories. The contributors to this volume explore how, beginning in adolescence and young adulthood, our narrative identities become the stories we live by. This volume addresses the most important and difficult issues in the study of narrative identity, including questions of unity and multiplicity in stories, the c…
Narrative research and the challenge of accumulating knowledge
Narrative research has produced an array of richly-detailed expositions of life as lived, well-interpreted studies full of nuance and insight that befit the complexity of human lives. This paper inquires into the necessity and possibilities of amalgamation of knowledge obtained through narrative research. As narrative studies, with their accompanying interpretations, accumulate, how do we “add them up?” What would a meta-analysis of narrative stu…
The hermeneutics of faith and the hermeneutics of suspicion
Ricoeur distinguishes between two forms of hermeneutics: a hermeneutics of faith which aims to restore meaning to a text and a hermeneutics of suspicion which attempts to decode meanings that are disguised. In this paper, his distinction is applied to interpretive stances in narrative research. From the point of view of a hermeneutics of faith, the interpretive effort is to examine the various messages inherent in an interview text, giving "voice…

The Experience of Empathy in Everyday Relationships
In the psychological literature, empathy has been regarded as either a cognitive, an affective, or a multidimensional phenomenon and there has been much controversy about its nature. This phenomenological study focuses on how the theoretical discussion of the cognitive-affective nature of empathy finds expression in the experiential realm. Findings in this study point to the conclusion that empathy has different meanings for different people, eit…

Psychodynamic aspects of identity formation in college women
Phenomenological aspects of psychosocial maturity in adolescence. Part II. Girls
Matrix Of Tensions
Questions about how women integrate maternity into their sense of self have generated a quest for an heuristic model. We suggest that mothers struggle to balance themselves amid a set of polarities/tensions and that mothering can be situated within a phenomenological matrix of such tensions. We propose a model that includes the following developmental issues: loss of self/expansion of self; omnipotence/liability; life-destroying/life-promoting be…
