Making sense of the meaning literature: an integrative review of meaning making and its effects on adjustment to stressful life events. (2010, background): “Myriad perspectives can be brought to bear on this issue; some center on disruptions in life narratives and themes occasioned by stressful encounters (e.g., Crossley, 2000; Gilbert, 2002) or on reorganization of autobiographical memory in their aftermath (Bluck & Habermas, 2001).”
Narrative identity and meaning making across the adult lifespan: an introduction. (2004, background): “The accumulating knowledge that emerges from reasoning about our narrative memories yields a life story schema that provides causal, temporal, and thematic coherence to an overall sense of identity (Bluck & Habermas, 2001; Habermas & Bluck, 2000).”
The Self and Autobiographical Memory: Correspondence and Coherence (2004, background): “If memories are conceived of as primarily serving coherence functions, e.g. having an integrated ‘life story’ (Bluck & Habermas, 2001), then issues relating to memory accuracy are second- THE SELF AND MEMORY 495 ary.”
Happiness Revisited: Ontological Well-Being as a Theory-Based Construct of Subjective Well-Being (2009, background): “It indicates that there is a strong inclination among individuals to develop more abstract, evaluative, organizing mental activity with regard to life experiences, whether related to the past, the present, or the future ( Bluck and Habermas 2001; McAdams 2001; Staudinger 2001).”
The Function of Fiction is the Abstraction and Simulation of Social Experience (2008, background): “This has amounted to what could be considered a new paradigm, with numerous researchers now working independently along similar lines (e.g., Bluck & Habermas, 2001; Brockmeier & Carbaugh, 2001; McAdams, Josselson, & Lieblich, 2006; Singer, 2004; for the health benefits of narrating experience, see…”
Thinking and talking about the past: Why remember? (2009, background): “Initial instructions tell people that thinking and talking about recent and distant events in one’s life occurs in everyday life, and that the researchers are interested in how people connect the memories of events in their life (i.e. autobiographical reasoning, Bluck & Habermas, 2001).”
I'll keep you in mind: the intimacy function of autobiographical memory (2007, methodology): “More recent models of AM (Bluck & Habermas, 2001) also consider AM to include memory for life periods and themes (Conway, 1996) and one’s entire life story (Habermas & Bluck, 2000; McAdams, 1990).”
New Perspectives on Autobiographical Memory: The Integration of Narrative Processing and Autobiographical Reasoning (2001, background): “Bluck and Habermas (2001) substantiate McAdams's (1985, 2001) life story theory of identity concerning the critical role of adolescence and young adulthood in narrative identity.”
