(Too) many things for one single life - Sociality in Life Story Interviews of Czech older adults
Original language description
Difficulties experienced by people in old age such as ageism, low subjective well-being, or despair may be related to breakdown of sociality in their close social environment or in society in general. In the paper I presents analyses of Life Story Interviews (McAdams) derived from an extensive project with Czech older adults. Following the personal construct theory and the theory of dialogical self, I distinguish interviews with developed and undeveloped sociality. Participants in the former category focus on relationships in their life stories and express an understanding of persons important for their lives (including the persons who they evaluate negatively). At the same time, in life-stories of these participants a dynamic structure of subjective „self-positions” creating „inner sociality” can be identified. I compare results of these analyses with participants' scores on scales of Erikson's ego-integrity and well-being. Finally, I discuss how these results fit the initial hypothesis.
