Construcción narrativa identitaria de pareja ante una situación de infidelidad

Abstract

This research exercise is purposed to be part of the educational project: "Identity construction of the Couple", which belongs to the field of integral formation: “Psychology, family, and stages of change". Whose purpose was focused on understanding the construction and re-construction of narrative identity of the couple in a situation of infidelity. The paradigmatic and epistemological bases that frame this research are constructed on complex thinking, systemic paradigm, second-order cybernetics, social constructionism and ontology of language. Consequently the methodology used to develop this research is qualitative in which we work with reflective conversational scenarios, which allowed us to generate comprehensions about the narratives of the two participating couples who went through an infidelity situation. In view of that we develop the following categories: Personal Narratives, Couple Narrative identity and Infidelity, these categories helped us to achieve our objective of understanding the construction and re-construction of identity narratives of couples that passed thru the situation of infidelity. The findings and conclusions that are appreciated in this investigation make visible some constructions of meanings produced by the participants about the infidelity and being Couple. In this direction, it was identified that in both cases there was a re-construction of the narrative identity of the couple due to the articulation of the infidelity event to the script of life of the participants.
