Özet:
Constructing one's personal narrative and consolidating a sense of identity is an ongoing process that becomes vital towards the end of life as stories are reevaluated and the search for meaning becomes more urgent. The current study examined the process of life review in an elderly sample, looking specifically at the effects of participating in a memoir course versus a film discussion group, on identity, wisdom and well-being. We hypothesized that identity fidelity, identity coherence, wisdom, and subjective well-being would increase, and that depression, stress, and anxiety would decrease for those in the memoir group but not the film group. Eighteen elderly individuals from senior living communities participated, meeting for a weekly class, for four weeks. After engaging in the process of reorganizing the life story and writing about important memories, the nine individuals in the memoir group scored significantly higher on self-report measures of identity fidelity and wise reminiscence than those in the film group. Wise reminiscence, significantly higher in the memoir group, mediated relationships between memoir writing and identity fidelity, identity coherence and subjective well-being. This points to the potential benefits of memoir writing as a therapeutic intervention.
