Narrating the Self in Autobiographical Memories [Dataset]

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.
