It reviews traditional approaches to studying murder and develops a narrative-centered model, defining dysfunctional narratives and assessing coherence, credibility, openness to change, reconciliation, generativity, differentiation, and related constructs. Methodology uses narrative interviewing and content analysis, reporting grouped results and discussing implications for identity formation, narrative reconstruction, and research and investigative applications.",{"@graph":69,"@context":121},[70,84,104],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/dysfunctional-self-identities-exploring-the-life-stories-of-15-murderers-within-a-narrative-framework/645783/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":98,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":99,"interactionStatistic":100},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/dysfunctional-self-identities-exploring-the-life-stories-of-15-murderers-within-a-narrative-framework/645783.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"BigDaveOnline","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-23",true,{"@type":101,"interactionType":102,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":103},"ViewAction",{"@type":105,"mainEntity":106},"FAQPage",[107,113,117],{"name":108,"@type":109,"acceptedAnswer":110},"What does the thesis investigate about self-identity in murderers’ life stories?","Question",{"text":111,"@type":112},"It investigates how dysfunctional self-identities are explored through life stories framed by narrative structure and functionality.
