“failure to achieve a 'satisfactory-enough' alignment creates narrative tensions that can lead to development and adaptation difficulties and mental health problems”
From Abandoning The Performance Narrative: Two Women's Stories of Transition from Professional Sport (2009) · cites this paper as McLeod, 1997
In the citing paper
“McLeod (1997) suggested that individuals whose stories do not fit dominant cultural narratives are often silenced as their stories are deemed un-tellable.”
From Abandoning The Performance Narrative: Two Women's Stories of Transition from Professional Sport (2009) · cites this paper as McLeod (1997)
In the citing paper
“According to McLeod (1997), 'Even when a teller is recounting a unique set of individual, personal events, he or she can only do so by drawing upon story structures and genres drawn from the narrative resources of a culture' (p. 94).”
From Abandoning The Performance Narrative: Two Women's Stories of Transition from Professional Sport (2009) · cites this paper as McLeod (1997)
In the citing paper
“we suggest that the dominance of the performance narrative type may make it difficult or impossible for some athletes to achieve, in McLeod's (1997) terms, 'a satisfactory-enough alignment.'”
From Abandoning The Performance Narrative: Two Women's Stories of Transition from Professional Sport (2009) · cites this paper as McLeod, 1997
In the citing paper
“mental well-being requires a degree of narrative alignment between one's experience, the stories one tells, and the narrative types available within one's culture.”
From Abandoning The Performance Narrative: Two Women's Stories of Transition from Professional Sport (2009) · cites this paper as McLeod, 1997
In the citing paper
“Crossley (2000) and McLeod (1997) suggested that when individuals feel impelled to silence - to suppress or distort stories of their experience for fear of the negative reactions of others - one result is a number of emotional responses linked with depression and poor mental health.”
From Abandoning The Performance Narrative: Two Women's Stories of Transition from Professional Sport (2009) · cites this paper as McLeod (1997)
In the citing paper
“In short, opportunity to share stories of our lives which are met with understanding, support, and empathy, is an important aspect of mental health and personal development (McAdams, 1993; McLeod, 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
