Abstract:

The paper is devoted to the analysis of some scenarios and life contexts of discursive construction of experience by adult personality.The interpretation of the empirical data obtained through the online survey was based on the normative model of discursive self-designing by N. V. Chepeleva – S. Yu. Rudnitskaya. The analysis revealed characteristic types of correlation of life and personal self-designs for different periods of adulthood (depending on age and socio-psychological conditions). Some of the most common scenarios of self-realization that are characteristic of the “adults” age group were identified. It is argued that the self-designing of a person during the life can be considered as a possible way to the realization of vocation. The expediency of purposeful development of a person´s narrative competence for successful self-designing is substantiated.
