Authoring a Second Chance in Life: Emotion and Transformational Processing Within Narrative Identity (2006, background): “…to form meaningful connections between past experiences and how these experiences relate to the self matures dramatically during the teenage years (Habermas & Paha, 2001), and these connections form the basic building blocks of narrative identity as adolescents explore who they are and prepare…”
Developing a Life Story: Constructing Relations between Self and Experience in Autobiographical Narratives (2007, background): “Such studies suggest that the capacity to build such narratives emerges in mid- to late adolescence [Habermas & Bluck, 2000; Habermas & Paha, 2001], and that such narratives increase in frequency throughout adulthood [Bauer & McAdams, 2004b; Pasupathi & Mansour, in press].”
Emerging Identities: Narrative and Self from Early Childhood to Early Adolescence (2010, background): “Taken together with Habermas and colleagues’ work with 8‐12-year olds, we conclude that it is possible to elicit a life story prior to mid-adolescence ( Habermas & Paha, 2001; Habermas & de Silveira, in press).”
Getting a Life Takes Time: The Development of the Life Story in Adolescence, Its Precursors and Consequences (2015, background): “Thus, the understanding of others and the self turns biographical in adolescence, and autobiographical remembering becomes an essential part of identity [Habermas & Paha, 2001].”
Development of outstanding leadership: A life narrative approach (2008, background): “One critical implication of Bluck (2003) coherence theory is that autobiographical reasoning and life narratives will tend to emerge in late childhood and adolescence as people acquire the ability to think about events in terms of abstract causes (Bluck & Habermas, 2001; Habermas & Paha, 2001).”
