比較「語文探索與字詞計算（LIWC）」與「生命故事敘說分析」 於敘說文本品質的探討－兩位患者乳癌經驗的語文化過程

Abstract

敘說是被常用來表達自我的方式，也被發現對於提升個人的生理健康有很大的助益；根據「情緒書寫派典」，個體從敘說中獲益的機制來自經驗的意義化。並發展出語意探索與字詞計算軟體（LIWC）來分析文本資料，認為文本中認知字眼的「逐漸增加」可用來象徵「經驗連貫度增加、成為故事的過程」，並預測敘說文本個體的健康效益。然而，個體的內在整合狀態不見得能被「認知字眼的增加」完整解釋。回顧文獻後發現，生命故事的連貫性與多元性對於個體內在整合狀態有獨特的重要性。故本研究整合生命故事取向的文本分析方式，嘗試藉由個案研究的方式，分析兩位個案之乳癌經驗敘說資料，以瞭解LIWC與生命故事兩種文本分析方式與心理特性，以及後續健康效益之關聯。研究結果發現，生命故事取向的分析較LIWC能預測後續健康效益，且較能了解文本與內在整合狀態之關聯。因此，本研究認為使用生命故事取向的文本分析，較LIWC能完整了解個體內在整合狀態。

This study aims to explore the difference between Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) and the content analysis in the life story approach, as well as between each of their relationships with personal health. By using the case study design, results of narrative analysis showed that the content analysis in the life story approach could get as much information as LIWC on the quantitative dimension of narrative coherence and exceed LIWC in the qualitative domain. It was also observed that multiplicity played an important role in narrative. Results suggested that content analysis in the life story approach would be a better method to adopt to explore the connection between self integration state and narrative quality.
