Abstract
This study examined to explore the process of changing social and cultural self-identitythrough participation in narrative activities in old age. To do this, the activity consisting of 15sessions was constructed in consideration of the life-span development process. As s result, itwas possible to examine the process of changing social and cultural self-identity in three stages. In the first stage of 1-5 sessions, it was found that self-exploration and identification werestarted in social relationships with caregivers, brothers, and sisters in the early stages of life. Inaddition, in the second stage of 6-11 sessions, it was found that friends and rational friends assurrounding characters, and social and cultural situations as marriage and child birth form aself-relationship. Finally, in the third stage of 12-15 sessions, it was found that a new form ofsocial and cultural self-identity was formed in the second half of life ahead of death by sharingthe experiences so far with others, families, and community members. This suggests that socialand cultural self-identity in old age can be reformed and restructured through narrative activitiesin old age.
