We examined themes of agency and communion in life stories of individuals with schizophrenia. Twenty-four individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and 24 control participants matched on age, gender, and education described their life stories in a free format. The life stories were coded for the presence of agency and communion themes and whether or not the themes captured fulfillment of agency and communion needs. In addition, the temporal macrostructure was coded. Individuals with schizophrenia described their life stories with similar levels of temporal macrostructure as controls, but they expressed more themes focusing on unfulfilled agency and communion needs. We suggest possible avenues for using these insights to improve recovery in schizophrenia.
我们研究了个体精神分裂症生活故事中的能动性和共通体主题。24 名被诊断为精神分裂症的个体和 24 名在年龄、性别和教育方面相匹配的对照组参与者以自由格式描述了他们的生活故事。这些生活故事被编码为能动性和共通体主题的存在,以及这些主题是否捕捉到了能动性和共通体需求的满足。此外,还对时间宏观结构进行了编码。精神分裂症患者描述其生活故事的时间宏观结构与对照组相似,但他们表达了更多关注未满足的能动性和共通体需求的主题。我们提出了利用这些见解来改善精神分裂症康复的可能途径。
