Abstract

Autobiographical narrative (i.e., the process through writing or storytelling where one recalls life experiences and their impact on identity) has been found to effectively help adolescents cope with a range of medical and psychological issues. The current study addressed the overall preliminary research question: How does implementing an autobiographical narrative approach promote resilience, psychological well- being, and ethnic identity among adolescents? A secondary study aim was to explore how central the memories evoked by each workshop were to participant identity. The study’s third goal was to promote life skill development and self-awareness through participation in the autobiographical narrative intervention. The intervention incorporated a community-based participatory research (CBPR) framework in its partnership with a community centre in Northern England. The intervention consisted of an 8-week autobiographical program with youth participants from working and lower middle-class backgrounds. Socioeconomic status was operationalized by self-report on a demographic data sheet completed by participants. Analyses indicated that participants viewed the events discussed in the 8-week program as being more central to their lives after their participation. Maladaptive coping appeared to decrease after participation in the intervention. Results suggest interventions that incorporate an autobiographical narrative approach within a CBPR framework may promote positive outcomes among adolescents with limited economic resources.

英格兰北部青年群体的心理健康、弹性、族群认同和有意义事件的探索:一项自传体叙事干预试点研究
研究发现,自传式叙事(即通过写作或讲故事来回忆生活经历及其对身份的影响)可以有效地帮助青少年应对一系列医疗和心理问题。目前的研究解决了总体的初步研究问题:实施自传体叙事方法如何促进青少年的弹性、心理健康和种族认同?第二个研究目的是探索每个工作坊唤起的记忆对参与者身份的重要性。本研究的第三个目标是通过参与自传体叙事干预来促进生活技能的发展和自我意识。该干预措施在其与英格兰北部一个社区中心的伙伴关系中纳入了基于社区的参与性研究框架。干预包括一个为期8周的自传体项目,参与者来自工薪阶层和中下层家庭。社会经济地位通过参与者填写的人口统计数据表进行自我报告。分析表明,参与者认为在8周的课程中讨论的事件对他们的生活更加重要。参与干预后,适应不良反应明显减少。结果表明,在CBPR框架内结合自传体叙事方法的干预措施可能会在经济资源有限的青少年中促进积极的结果。
