Tryb opowiadania dorastającej młodzieży o swoich rodzicach i jego uwarunkowania

The mode of stories told by adolescents about their parents and its relationshipThe study examines the link between the sense of adulthood and characteristics and structure of young people  narratives about their parents. Examined were the written stories from 16–19 years old about their parents. The questionnaire authored by Wanda Zagórska – “Yours Life Situation rate” was used as measure of the sense of adulthood. This toll provides the measure of psychical maturity and can be understood as self rated sense of adulthood. The content analysis as well as structural analysis reveled in this age group significant predominance of commentary and argument focused text forms. The most characteristic arguments concern closeness and contact with parents. More rare narrative forms had different character and were related to higher sense of adulthood of their authors. The implications of such results, especially of narrative understanding of experience are being discussed.
