构建连贯的个人经历描述的能力可以反映或预测心理调整的假设跨越了心理科学的许多领域。有人认为，连贯的身份描述尤其具有适应性。我们通过检查对个人有意义的自传体记忆的叙述连贯性与三个心理健康组成部分（目的和意义；积极的自我观；积极的关系）之间的关系来测试这些假设。我们还通过评估每个叙述的身份内容来研究连贯性和幸福感之间关系的潜在调节。我们收集了 103 名本科生对个人重大事件的两份自传体叙述，并对它们进行编码，以保证内容的连贯性和身份性。为了保持连贯性，还收集并编码了关于通用/重复事件的另外两个叙述。我们证实了构建连贯的自传体叙事与心理健康相关的预测。此外，我们发现这种关系受到叙事与身份的相关性的调节，并且在更普遍地控制叙事能力（即通用/重复事件的连贯性）后，这种调节仍然存在。这些数据有力地支持了连贯的叙事身份假说以及独特事件是成年初期身份建构的关键特征的预测。
The hypothesis that the ability to construct a coherent account of personal experience is reflective, or predictive, of psychological adjustment cuts across numerous domains of psychological science. It has been argued that coherent accounts of identity are especially adaptive. We tested these hypotheses by examining relations between narrative coherence of personally significant autobiographical memories and three psychological well-being components (Purpose and Meaning; Positive Self View; Positive Relationships). We also examined the potential moderation of the relations between coherence and well-being by assessing the identity content of each narrative. We collected two autobiographical narratives of personally significant events from 103 undergraduate students and coded them for coherence and identity content. Two additional narratives about generic/recurring events were also collected and coded for coherence. We confirmed the prediction that constructing coherent autobiographical narratives is related to psychological well-being. Further, we found that this relation was moderated by the narratives’ relevance to identity and that this moderation held after controlling for narrative ability more generally (i.e. coherence of generic/recurring events). These data lend strong support to the coherent narrative identity hypothesis and the prediction that unique events are a critical feature of identity construction in emerging adulthood.
