The past 10-15 years have seen a rapid increase in the study of narrative across all the social sciences. It is sometimes assumed that narrative has the same meaning irrespective of the context in which it is expressed. This article considers different levels of narrative analysis within health psychology. Specifically, it considers the character of health and illness narratives as a function of the personal, interpersonal, positional and societal levels of analysis. At the personal level of analysis narratives are portrayed as expressions of the lived experience of the narrator. At the interpersonal level of analysis the narrative is one that is co-created in dialogue. At the positional level of analysis the analysis considers the differences in social position between the narrator and the listener. The societal level of analysis is concerned with the socially shared stories that are characteristic of certain communities or societies. The challenge is to articulate the connections between these different levels of narrative analysis and to develop strategies to promote emancipatory narratives.
过去 10-15 年，所有社会科学领域对叙事的研究都迅速增加。人们有时假定，叙事无论在何种表达语境下都具有相同的含义。本文考虑了健康心理学中的不同层次的叙事分析。具体而言，它考虑了健康和疾病叙事的特征，这些特征是个人、人际、位置和社会层面分析的函数。在个人层面的分析中，叙事被描绘为叙述者生活经历的表达。在人际层面的分析中，叙事是在对话中共同创造的。在位置层面的分析中，分析考虑了叙述者和听众之间社会地位的差异。社会层面的分析关注的是某些社区或社会所特有的社会共享故事。挑战在于阐明这些不同层次的叙事分析之间的联系，并制定策略来促进解放叙事。
