Abstract
Building on insights from Zerubavel's (1991) version of cognitive sociology and Gagnon and Simon's (1974) sexual scripting theory, this study describes a “cognitive scripting” model of identity, outlining three ideal typical cultural scenarios of sexual identification as an example. Employing a variety of data sources—including participant observation, informal interviews, and popular and scholarly media—each type is distinguished through its conceptions of ontology, classification, and temporal continuity. Finally, individuals' interpersonal and intrapsychic negotiations of competing cognitive paradigms are explored.
