Abstract
Social and personality psychologists have begun to apply the “narrative” metaphor in studies on cognitions and persons’ knowledge structures. In some recent conceptualizations, the self is considered to be a narrative phenomenon. The narrative approach might help to unify concepts of the self as a knowledge or belief system, and understand the self as an information processor and decision maker. In other words, it is argued that the narrative approach could integrate classical notions of “me” and “self” within one model of a mental structure that actively regulates processes of selfunderstanding, decision making, and acting. The aim of this chapter is to conceptualize this approach within the self domain and to discuss its potentialities.
