The Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Effects of Crucial Experiences

This research explores the intrapersonal and interpersonal effects of a special kind of life experience called a crucial experience. The present study suggests that the construct of the personal crucial experience is analogous with that of the crucial experiment, in that both have a refutation (disconfirming) function in relation to one's basic personal values, relational patterns, beliefs, and assumptions, yet also offer the promise of growth and development. It examines if “crucial experiences” are associated with changes in the quality of interpersonal motivation and in the degree of reflectivity on one's own and others’ interpersonal motivation. As well, it shows that events of loss and trauma are reported by a large percentage of individuals as crucial experiences. The analysis is based on series of studies including personal documents (diaries, autobiographies), a field study on 304 respondents from four Romanian cities, and a field study on 264 American participants from the Midwest.
