The study of extreme variants of phenomena has always been a challenge for science. While the science of personality has roots in several traditions, historically numerous personality theories and constructs for the assessment and explanation of individual differences have strongly been influenced by the progress made in conceptualizing extreme states of psychological functioning. Yet, division of labour resulted in psychiatry and clinical psychology focusing on deviant or maladaptive and personality psychology specializing on the normal range of individual differences. This special issue of the European Journal of Personality is driven by the idea that linking the study of personality and psychopathology offers insights that neither discipline can achieve on its own.

Narrative Methods

This review introduces our special issue, which presents a variety of papers with explicit assumptions of how narrative methods are used in cognitive and personality psychology studies of autobiographical narratives. We begin this review with an examination of how narrative is conceptualized in terms of reflecting and influencing a sense of self that is sculpted via social interaction. After explicating these constructs more carefully, we turn to an analysis of narrative methods, examining how different methodologies of narrative coding take on certain assumptions, either implicitly or explicitly, regarding narrative, self, and social interaction.

Abstract The articles presented in this special issue have located emotional responses within more complex narratives dictated by both individual histories and the larger sociocultural context. A major thesis running through these articles is that the study of emotion as a physiological response in the laboratory loses sight of the meanings expressed by emotions in interpersonal and social trans-actions. A deeper understanding of anger, love, and even boredom can be reached by looking at how these aspects of emotional life are expressed in narrative scenarios that involve the adopting of roles, the sharing of expecta-tions, and the stipulation of particular actions. Finally, contextual perspectives challenge researchers to scrutinize and bring to light the narrative expectations their own studies create for the participants involved. (Personality Psychology)
