Abstract: The dataset comprises: - 3 appendices related to instruments to obtain memories: the table for the construction of the instrument, the personal memories interview (translated from Spanish), and the recording authorization form - A document with examples of memories narrative (in Spanish) - A data file from 96 participants, focusing on: 1) 3 between-groups variables: educational level, gender, and generation; and 2) A range of dependent variables derived from the analysis of participants' memories from three different life periods: childhood, youth, and adulthood. These dependent variables encompass the proportions of predicates related to actions, mental states (cognitive, intentional, or emotional/affective predicates), and metacognitive expressions, and the ratios of self vs. others mentions. 3.

Description of the methods used to collect and generate the data: Participants were asked to complete a Personal Memories Interview, during which they were required to verbally recount 3 distinct memories about each of 3 life periods: childhood, adolescence/youth, and adulthood. The responses gathered from these interviews were then analyzed using a pre-established categorical system focused on the representation of self within memories and the narrative organization of these recollections. 2. Data processing methods: First, memories were recorded, transcribed and coded. Then several measurements were obtained from each of the nine memories, related to the narrative organization of the memories (a) and self in memory (b): a.1) The count of predicates related to actions, mental states (cognitive, intentional, or affective/emotional predicates), metacognitive expressions, and other ones, along with the total number of predicates used in each memory. b.1) The ratio of self to other mentions in each autobiographical memory. Then we compute representative metrics for each of the 3 life periods: a.2) Sum of the number of predicates of each type for each life period, sum of the total number of predicates for each life period, and proportions of predicates of each type related to the total number of predicates for each life period. b.2) Mean of the 3 ratios of self to other mentions in each life period. 3. Software or instruments needed to interpret the data: 4. Information about instruments, calibration, and standards: 5. Environmental or experimental conditions: 6. Quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: Two collaborators independently coded a sample of 20% of the memories for inter-rater reliability calculations. The kappa indexes ranged from .88 to .93. FILE OVERVIEW ---------------------- 1. Explain the file naming conversion, si es aplicable: 2.
