This article is focused on the growing empirical emphasis on connections between narrative and self-development. The authors propose a process model of self-development in which storytelling is at the heart of both stability and change in the self. Specifically, we focus on how situated stories help develop and maintain the self with reciprocal impacts on enduring aspects of self, specifically self-concept and the life story. This article emphasizes the research that has shown how autobiographical stories affect the self and provides a direction for future work to maximize the potential of narrative approaches to studying processes of self-development.
本文聚焦于实证研究中对叙事与自我发展之间联系日益增加的关注。作者提出了一个自我发展的过程模型，其中故事讲述是自我稳定与变化的核心。具体而言，我们关注情境化的故事如何有助于自我的发展与维持，以及它们如何对自我的持久方面，特别是自我概念和人生故事产生相互影响。本文强调了已有的研究，这些研究表明了自传体故事如何影响自我，并为未来的工作提供了一个方向，即最大化叙事方法在研究自我发展过程中的潜力。
