- Abstract
- Models of men’s and women’s life stories have been reconstructed on the basis of transformed into categorical matrixes autobiographical texts. The hypothesis that gender-specific male and female autobiographies are not reduced to the specifics of male and female speech but reflect a subjective processing of gender socialization norms was tested. Based on the method of biographical interviews autobiographies of 34 women from 31 to 72 years and 36 men from 23 to 69 years were recorded and compared. Autobiographical texts were subjected to the procedure of expert categorical analysis; obtained semantic matrixes were processed by means of methods of mathematical statistics. It has been shown that factor analysis of the autobiographical texts in contrast to the frequency one, questioned the “gender normativity” of personal history. Tendency to use adaptive life strategies in designing men’s autobiographical scripts and transformation of gender strategies in formulating female scenarios is described. The results of empirical study of male and female autobiographies concretize theoretical propositions concerning social creativity of female gender group, constituting women’s autobiography in the line traditional “cultural scripts’” changing.
