This paper focuses on the self-narrative theory proposed by K. J. Gergen and M. M. Gergen. This theory can be considered to be very insightful in explaining self, in that (1) it understands self as a product of self-narrative-acts, in other words, the reflexivity and historicity of self and (2) it understands self as a communicative and relational phenomenon, not an isolated entity, which means social constructedness of self. But it is considered to be still insufficient, because it fails to grasp fully the reflexivity of self, that is to say the relation to oneself. So extending their theory to cover this reflexivity fully makes possible a comparative sociology of self.

In this paper, I will examine Kenneth Gergen's self-narrative theory and try to make clear what differences there are between that theory and modernistic view of self. According to his theory, self is constructed as a narrative or story within or through various kinds of social interaction. That is a narrative about his/her own life in the past and future prospective. That is, any self-narrative can be characterized by the following three features:1) Various events in his/her life are chosen and structured by him/herself (reflexive)2) This structuring or storying depends on temporary sequence (diachronic)3) That self-narrative is always told to others (relational)Therefore in the self-narrative view self is understood to be more reflexive, more diachronic and more relational than a modernistic view has supposed it to be.This view does not make any difference as long as people believe in a modern story about 'subject', which is told about mechanical/synchronic/individual self. In 'postmodern' societies, however, it is gradually considered to be of less advantage than the narrative view of self, that is, a story about self told from a narrative perspective. It is more advantageous especially in those two respects as follow:1) Relational understanding of self2) Access to uniqueness or singularity of each individualBut, nevertheless, it is difficult to reject the concept of 'subject' completely because we need that concept in order to attribute responsibility to an agency of various acts. Narrative theory of self faces difficulty in this regard. On the one hand, relational view tends to dissolve the concept of 'responsibility' itself because 'responsibility' can be dispersed into infinite social relations in this view. On the other hand, any kind of agency cannot be identified because uniqueness or singularity can be grasped only negatively in self-narrative theory.

韓国・ソウル市および東京都杉並区において16 歳から29 歳の男女を対象にパーソナルネットワーク、自発的集団への参加状況、社会的参加、政治的参加の各領域について量的調査を行った。その結果を統計的に分析した結果、集団所属の多元性および親密な友人関係が社会的参加・政治的参加を促進すること、ソウルとの比較において東京の若者が学校外の活動において不活発であることが明らかにされた(なお高校段階での部活については、社会的参加・政治的参加との関連がみられなかった)
