  • Honor as a Moral Category: A Historical-Linguistic Analysis

    Open AccessFrank J Barrett, Theodore R SarbinARTICLETheory & Psychology2008

    In this article we trace the historical transformations of the word `honor' in Western cultures as initially an extrinsic conception equivalent to reputation and social status and later as a moral category independent of external reference. The virtue of `honor' is a window into the dynamics of identity maintenance. By tracing the transformations of `honor' in different cultures through history, we can see how moral categories and notions of self…

  • Worldmaking, Self and Identity

    Open AccessTheodore R SarbinARTICLECulture & Psychology2000Cited by: 3References: 5

    Both papers, Chandler (2000) and Shotter (2000), are concerned with 'worldmaking'. Chandler focuses on the relationship between cultural vitality and the development of robust identities; Shotter, following Vygotsky and Goethe, focuses on the features that enable people to construct acceptable identities. Time conceptions are implicit in Chandler's contribution; they are more explicit in Shotter's paper emphasizing how research should be carried …

  • Dissociative identity disorder and the sociocognitive model: Recalling the lessons of the past

    Scott O Lilienfeld, Irving Kirsch et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1999Cited by: 2

    In a recent article in this journal, D. H. Gleaves (1996) criticized the sociocognitive model (SCM; N. P. Spanos, 1994) of dissociative identity disorder (DID) and argued in favor of a posttraumatic model (PTM) in which DID is conceptualized as a consequence of childhood abuse and other traumatic events. The present authors demonstrate that (a) many of Gleaves's arguments were predicated on misunderstandings of the SCM, (b) scrutiny of the eviden…

  • Believed-in imaginings: The Narrative Construction of Reality

    Joseph De Rivera, Theodore R SarbinBOOKBelieved-in imaginings1998

    Believed-In Imaginings presents the varied perspectives of distinguished thinkers from the fields of psychology, anthropology, and sociology. They discuss conceptual issues such as how the terms imagining, believing, and remembering are defined, as well as developmental phenomena, such as children's attachment to the Tooth Fairy and transitional objects in times of need. Other chapters investigate topics ranging from the nature of hypnotic subjec…

  • The Poetics of Identity

    Open AccessTheodore R SarbinARTICLETheory & Psychology1997

    I make the case that imaginings influence the construction of identity-the composite of answers to the `who am I?' question. The central model for my arguments is the Quixotic principle-that imaginings stimulated by stories read or stories heard can provide the plot structures for one's own self-narratives. I illustrate the principle with a brief bio-graphical account and with two historical examples. Extending the analysis to contemporary concer…

  • Emotional Life, Rhetoric, and Roles

    Theodore R SarbinARTICLEJournal of Narrative and Life…1995

    From a narrative perspective, I suggest restructuring our understanding of the phenomena of emotions by broadening the conception of emotions to emotional life . I make the claim that emotional life is storied; further, that metaphors drawn from the discipline of rhetoric are indispensable to an understanding of emotional life. I make use of the distinction between dramaturgical rhetoric and dramatistic rhetoric to identify the rhetorical acts in…

  • "A Narrative Approach to "Repressed Memories

    Theodore R SarbinARTICLEJournal of Narrative and Life…1995

    I make use of insights from narrative psychology to illuminate claims made by advocates of the controversial multiple personality doctrine. The notion of "repressed memories" of childhood abuse is one of the foundations of the claim that one body can host two or more personalities. Until recently, a therapist could help a client reconstruct a failing self-narrative without being concerned with the historical truth of recovered memories. In the cu…

    Kenneth B Stein, Theodore R Sarbin et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research1967

    Cluster analysis of a moral values scale based on responses of 100 matched pairs of delinquent (D) and nondelinquent (ND) boys of high school age revealed 4 highly reliable dimensions: 1) Informing or "snitching", 2 )Masculine inadequacy, 3) Identity conflict, and 4) Aggression. On these matched as well as on replicated samples, the results showed that the D SS consider informing on others as more wrong than the ND Ss, while the ND Ss judged beha…
