本文探讨了三位受访者如何以完全不同的方式构建“相同”的生活事件婚姻不忠和离婚的意义。三人都讲述了自己的经历，用叙事结构来重构和解释事件，然而，由于他们对配偶的风流韵事和离婚有不同的看法，他们以对比的方式将联合收割机的故事元素结合起来。通过叙事分析，我证明了表面上看起来是相同的生活事件，实际上是完全不同的事件。我认为，压力研究需要更密切地关注生活事件的个人意义，并说明叙事方法如何通过阐明个人如何理解困难的经历来丰富压力研究。
This article examines how three interviewees construct the meaning of the ‘same’ life events—marital infidelity and divorce—in radically different ways. All three narrate their experience, using narrative structures to reconstruct and interpret events and yet, because they have different points to make about the spouses' affairs and their divorces, they combine story elements in contrasting ways. Using narrative analysis, I show that what on the surface appear to be the same life events are, in fact, quite different events. I argue that stress research needs to attend more closely to the personal meanings of life events, and show how narrative methods can enrich studies of stress by illuminating how individuals make sense of difficult experiences.
