Narrative Epistemological Stance • “Narrative research studies the whole person in context and examines whole lives. Stories convey information in a present time sense and include a felt sense, giving new perspectives and clarity to understanding experiences. The patterns of these experiences become apparent. Storytelling taps unconscious emotional material and memories that contain salient content about an event(Nelson et al, 2008, pg. 2).”
Narrative Data Collection Written Narrative Task Within a 30 min time frame, the youth were asked to write a short narrative about a vivid experience that they had experienced in the program. This task was based on a 130 Child Youth Care Forum (2008) 37:127–137 123 methodology used by Morrill et al. (2000). RAs gave participants pencils and papers. The instructions were the following: Think back to a time you were participating in ____________ (name of program) that really stands out to you. A time or an event that is very vivid. Where were you? What was happening? Who else was there? What did you feel about what was happening? How has participating in _________ helped or changed you and changed your family or community?
