Description
This research investigated the stability and adaptivity of personal career stories before and during the Coronavirus outbreak. Two narrative elements (arc and theme) were assessed for their ability to promote personal well-being (measured by general self-efficacy, perceived stress, psychosocial flourishing, resilience, and social generativity). It was hypothesized that certain arcs and themes would be more stable over time and show adaptability, leading to increased resilience. Additionally, levels of stress and career prospects would moderate the relationship between narrative and resilience. Data from 300 participants were collected using Prolific. Analysis and results will be discussed.
