metadata.value: Lost possible selves are a relatively new concept developed within the framework of the Possible
  Selves proposed by H. Markus and P. Nurius. Lost possible selves were studied in young
  adults aged 20 to 42 (N = 59). The purpose was to clarify the content of the concept of “Lost
  Possible Selves”, as well as to describe the forms of their representation in connection with
  cognitive strategies for constructing identity. We used the method based on the methodology
  of K. Hooker, the questionnaire of identity styles by M. Berzonsky (ISI-5), the methodology for
  assessing five-year intervals by A. A. Kronik, E. I. Golovakha. Lost possible selves were conventional
  in nature and concerned with the main tasks of early adulthood: primarily the areas of
  career, relationships and education. Lost selves were neutral or pessimistic in tone, descriptive,
  and less often narrative. Three types of temporal orientation of lost possible selves have been
  identified: with a focus on the present; focus on returning to the “good” past or changing the
  “bad” past; timeless orientation. The frequency of appealing to the lost self is related neither
  to the ability for its realization nor to the probability of its realization, but it is connected with
  the emotional attitude (regret, difficulty of refusal, importance). The neutral tone of the story
  about the lost self was associated with the normative identity construction style: the more the
  respondents adhered to socially desirable norms, family traditions, the more neutrally they
  described the lost possible selves. People with a normative style of identity construction and
  people who feel their past is less saturated were more confident that in the future they could
  realize the lost self. The ability to realize the lost self, therefore, has the largest number of relationships
  compared to its other characteristics.
