Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
McAdams's abstract states the life-story model, that people give their lives unity and purpose by constructing internalized, evolving narratives of the self; it does not state memory integration, life-direction, or the field-status clause.

Domain-specific¶
Mechanisms¶
- Identity Narrative Shift
- It works because identity is substantially narrative — people understand who they are through an internalized, evolving story, and a group's felt boundary lives in that story as much as in any policy.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
