Özet:
The current study aims to identify the different aspects of the life script and life story
to examine whether autobiographical memory recall is guided by the life script in
Turkish culture. In this study, the psychological analysis was integrated with the
sociological approach by addressing the relationship between autobiographical
memory and cultural life script events in the light of previous studies. In total, 241
women and 168 men participated in the study by filling out demographic information
form, The Personal Life Story Events Questionnaire, and The Cultural Life Script
Events Questionnaire for an imagined same-sex new-born and an imagined opposite sex new-born. The content analysis of the events revealed that there were some events
(getting into college, having a job, getting married, starting school, having a child)
repeated by the majority of participants and they were common to both male and
female life scripts. All hypotheses of the study were supported for most of the events
out of the top six with the highest frequency.
