Years ago I started a small program designed to teach guitar basics to teens who had been in trouble with the law. My narrative idea was to explore whether adding a positive ID piece ("I am learning to play guitar," "I play guitar," "I am a guitar student") to the more challenging ID pieces ("I get in trouble," "I don't fit in," "I'm bad news") would make a difference in the self-concept of the teens. I didn't do a formal research piece, so it was all anecdotal and observation-based, but there was a lot of energy around the program and for the period of time I did it, it did seem to give the teens an alternative storyline that added a little hope. I'd love someday to do research around this and see more clearly how expanding our narratives help us open to new possibilities.
You're welcome, Nick! Good luck with your explorations. I think this is great ground for research. :)
Especially I researched the leisure activities of adolescents, using a test we developed, which was collected what they were doing 24 hours a day. I think when your habits have been chosen freely, and respond to a structure, help your autodetermianción. All this certainly affects the narrative, but unfortunately I have not studied his narrative. A research topic incredible progress in this area.
thanks, Fatima. If you are able to share details about your test, I would like to hear about it. Regards, Nick.
