Abstract

Making meaning is an important process through which individuals keep their identity up-to-date, but has often been measured in a way that conflates dispositional, trait-like influences with narrative-specific influences. The present study aimed to disentangle these influences during adolescence by examining the general tendency for meaning making, measured as self-event connections, across three self-relevant narratives in relation to dual-cycle processes of identity commitment and exploration and satisfaction with life (N = 162, M_age = 16.2, 67.3% female). Additionally, these associations were examined separately for the different narratives and event valences. Meaning making was related to the identity processes, but was not associated with satisfaction with life. This study emphasizes the importance of both dispositional and narrative-specific approaches to meaning making.

自我相关体验的意义建构:与青少年身份承诺、探索过程和生活满意度的联系

创造意义是一个重要的过程，通过这个过程，个人可以保持他们的身份与时俱进，但通常以一种将性格、特质影响与特定叙事影响混为一谈的方式来衡量。本研究旨在通过考察与身份承诺、探索和生活满意度双循环过程相关的三种自我相关叙述的意义制造的一般倾向(以自我事件联系来衡量)来解开青春期这些影响(N = 162, Mage = 16.2, 67.3%女性)。此外，这些关联被单独检查不同的叙述和事件价。意义创造与身份认同过程有关，但与生活满意度无关。本研究强调了性格和叙事特定方法对意义形成的重要性。
