metadata.value: Does “It’s getting worse” mean the same as “everything has gone wrong”? I am afraid, It seems
  so. The cognitive heuristics of ‘Remembering Self ’ (D. Kahneman) make us suffer from such
  illusion: over-dramatizing the “peak-end” effect and underestimating the time duration factor
  in experiencing pain or pleasure. The same heuristics work in reasoning when judging
  the subjective quality of ones’ personal lifespan. In our empirical research of time perspective
  in autobiographic self-narratives, we show that even subtle, negatively-changing dynamics
  in ones’ personal past-present-future satisfaction level (Likert scale, semantic differential,
  19 constructs from Nuttin’s Time Attitudes Scale) is reflected immediately in narrative structure.
  We have detected: (i) long pauses, frustration markers and blocking in narration about
  the future; (ii) discounting past experience; (iii) pessimistic scenarios of life course or overidealized
  future ones (irrelevant to “course-effect” or “goal-directed” links between life events
  and identity); and (iv) the lack of a thematic type of global narrative coherence of past-present-
  future stories. Participants included 112 graduated bachelor’s and master’s students from
  Saint-Petersburg State University, namely emerging adults (18–27 years old). They were asked
  to present (in written and oral form) one coherent narrative, including three autobiographic
  stories to illustrate the relationship between one chosen identity (from their 20 statement test)
  and one past, one actual and one hypothetical future life event. Analysis involving an independent
  sample of 42 students confirmed the findings mentioned. Self-narration as a powerful
  cultural instrument of identity-construction is well known and has been vastly discussed last
  decades. The vulnerability of emerging identity to narrative patterns and the crucial role of
  temporality in narrative structure makes the dynamics of time perspective evaluation an important
  target of therapy even when small in amplitude but progressive. Therefore we propose
  that cognitive heuristics in the area of phenomenology of time become an important theoretical
  issue for further study. Empirical results were discussed in frames of phenomenological
  and existential approaches to the temporality narrated.
