Model of Narrative Analysis of Personal Identity Style

Th is article represents the Model of Narrative analysis of Personal Identity Style framed, methodologically and theoretically, in a narrative-existential approach. Socio-cognitive mechanisms of identity construction by the Life Decisions processes are discussed. Th e coordination of the causal attribution cognitive schema and identity styles are analyzed. A narrative schema of autobiography is studied as the basic instrument of autobiographical reasoning, self-integration and identity construction. Empirically provided covariation between self-narrative structure of self-defi ning memories, typical narrative coherence of autobiography, and identity construction stratagems, positive re-interpretation and valuation of negative experience, the positioning of the Self as an Author of one’s life. Th e technique of Self-narrative schema coding (the ‘Golden Fish’ metaphor of coding system) in frame of this Model is presented for the fi rst time. Th e discursive context of modern identity phenomena such as Null Identity, Self-illusion and Existential Identity is disclosed.
