Description
In the present article, I review recent life-story research, and argue the theoretical and methodological issues, especially from the point of view of life-span developmental psychology. First, a definition of “story ” is “describing the plot of two or more life events ”. Life stories are acts of meaning and organizations of life experiences. Second, life stories can be understood not as static structures, but rather in terms of the dynamic process of interaction of the story-teller and the listener. In particular, it seems that re-telling one's life story is essential for generating new meaning of one's life. Though we cannot change past events, we can reorganize them as we re-tell the story. Third, the concept of a narrative self is related to the concepts of identity and generativity. Telling one's life story is a significant tool for communication from this generation to the next and future generations.
