Abstract

The cultural life scripts are shared semantic knowledge of the expected life course in a given culture characterised by a bump for positive events in the second and third life decades, but none for negative events [Berntsen, D., & Rubin, D. C. (2004). Cultural life scripts structure recall from autobiographical memory. Memory & Cognition, 32, 427-442. https://doi.org/10.3758/BF03195836]. We investigated the stability of Nigerian young adults' life scripts and life stories across religion and gender. One-hundred-and-seventy-four participants completed the life script and life story tasks, and the revised religious orientation scale. We found that the life scripts and life stories consisted of mainly positive events with a reminiscence bump located in the 10s and 20s; however, we also found a small bump for negative events. There was a high mention rate of religion-specific events in both the life scripts and life stories of participants across religion and gender. The level of religiosity had effects on the importance ratings of the life scripts and life stories. In sum, despite minor variations, the life scripts and life stories were consistent across religion and gender.

不同宗教和性别的尼日利亚年轻人的人生剧本和人生故事事件的稳定性。

文化生活脚本是一种特定文化中关于预期生活过程的共享语义知识，其特点是在第二和第三个十年中积极事件多，而消极事件少[Berntsen, D., & Rubin, D. C. (2004)。自传体记忆中的文化生活脚本结构回忆。Memory & Cognition, 32, 427-442. https://doi.org/10.3758/BF03195836]。我们调查了不同宗教和性别的尼日利亚年轻人的生活脚本和生活故事的稳定性。174 名参与者完成了生命脚本和生命故事任务以及修订后的宗教取向量表。我们发现，生活脚本和生活故事主要由正面事件组成，在 10 分和 20 分之间有一个回忆凹凸点；但是，我们也发现负面事件有一个小的凹凸点。在不同宗教和性别的参与者的生命脚本和生命故事中，宗教特定事件的提及率都很高。宗教信仰程度对人生脚本和人生故事的重要性评分有影响。总之，尽管存在细微差别，但不同宗教信仰和性别的参与者的人生剧本和人生故事是一致的。

期刊介绍： Memory publishes high quality papers in all areas of memory research. This includes experimental studies of memory (including laboratory-based research, everyday memory studies, and applied memory research), developmental, educational, neuropsychological, clinical and social research on memory. By representing all significant areas of memory research, the journal cuts across the traditional distinctions of psychological research. Memory therefore provides a unique venue for memory researchers to communicate their findings and ideas both to peers within their own research tradition in the study of memory, and also to the wider range of research communities with direct interest in human memory.
