Narrative Utility and Self-Concept Clarity in Contextual Personality Research

摘要

I build on Dunlop's suggestions for future directions in contextualized personality research by emphasizing the need to examine the incremental validity of contextualized personality while expanding contextualized narrative research to other individual differences in narrative processing and examining multiple indices of psychological health including self-concept clarity. In future work, we must determine the extent to which measures of psychological health are themselves contextualized and set this in a lifespan framework acknowledging different expectations and presses by different roles at different points in the lifespan.
