| Summary: | Narrative integration of experiences of contingency describes the ways (modes) in which people assimilate the uncontrollability—or contingency—of life, while accepting, acknowledging and tolerating the existential fears accompanying these experiences, thus keeping contingency open.

Experiences of contingency, caused by the interplay between life events, one's worldview and ultimate life goals, disrupt one's life story, challenging one's basic needs for understanding, coherence and meaning. |
