“…Examining the individual's attempt to create an account of religious and sexual development in one story that he or she feels needs to be intelligible to an attentive listener, enables us to discern both the deliberative process and the final identity configuration. This also allows us to be attentive to the cultural context [Bruner, 1990], and to deal with real life situations [Mishler, 1979;Tappan, 1990].…”

“…The texts were analyzed using 'guided multiple reading' -a method based on descriptions of studies conducted both by Gilligan and by Tappan [Brown et al, 1988;Tappan, 1990]; on Alexander's [1988] strategy of extracting psychobiographic material and 'asking the data a question'; and on Mishler's [1990] concept of 'exemplars'. Stated briefly, each interview was read several times, each time with another Eriksonian concept from a previously prepared list in mind (i.e., mutual complementation, commitment, etc.).…”

Identity Constraints: The Perceived Structural Requirements of a 'Good' Identity

Ego Identity Status Theory, following Erikson''s identity theory, describes mature identity as striving towards sameness and continuity, and as thus constrained by structural elements such as closure, consistency and commitment. Lately, however, theoreticians are portraying a relatively unconstrained postmodern, mutable, multiple, Protean self, continuously changing and inconsistent across situations. This paper examines personal narratives of identity formation in order to determine what 30 Jewish modern orthodox young adults implicitly considered to be the structural requirements of a ''good'' identity. Their deliberations regarding a potentially conflictual identity issue (i.e. their religious and sexual development) revealed four constraints on identity: A ''good'' identity must allow for: a sense of consistency, sameness and continuity; the inclusion of all significant identifications; mutual recognition between individual and society; and feelings of authenticity and vitality. The possible implications of the concept of ''identity constraints'' on identity theory are discussed.

Partindo da análise de trabalhos tradicionalmente realizados na área de desenvolvimento moral, o artigo sinaliza a necessidade de desenvolver uma abordagem teórica que trate o tema dentro de um enfoque que considere os aspectos socioculturais, cognitivos e afetivos. A questão central reside em abordar de forma sistêmica e integrada a dinâmica do desenvolvimento moral do indivíduo, resgatando a dimensão interativa e contextual envolvida na resolução dos conflitos morais e no desenvolvimento de crenças e valores. O trabalho parte dos pressupostos da perspectiva histórica socio-cultural construtivista do desenvolvimento humano, explicitando as exigências metodológicas implicadas na adoção dos conceitos e categorias utilizados no âmbito de tal perspectiva.

“…There are limitations, however, to what such a traditional approach can reveal about the structure of narratives and the power of narrative to represent lived experience [Tappan, 1990]. Thus I would encourage them, as they move forward, to consider how they might incorporate more qualitative and interpretive ways of gathering data into their research agenda.…”
