Ihe guestions of the Parent Development Interview instrument were used to draw conclusions about the mothers perceptions of her own motherhood and her relationship with her child. A narrative analysis of the 15 pre- and post-interview texts revealed typical patterns in the texts, such as guilt or an idealized image of ones own motherhood and the mothers desire to feel needed by the child (Lénárd, 2008). Social psychology explores perspective-taking (i.e., the ability to place oneself in the position of others) through narrative content analysis. Perspective-taking is the result of cognitive effort, the underlying processes of which can be explored through a narrative analysis of texts. A narrative about a group includes elements of group identity and the representations of the thoughts and actions of the actors. Mental states and actions can be examined by measuring the frequency of certain linguistic expressions in the text, such as verbs expressing emotions or adjectives expressing qualities. In an analysis of textbook narratives on the historical trauma of Hungarian history, 22 textbooks published between 1920 and 2000 and 354 newspaper articles published between 1920 and 2010 were analyzed using the NarrCat algorithm with three independent coders. The use of cognitive verbs in the texts reflected the stage that participants had reached in their processing of the collective national trauma (Vincze, Ilg & Tibor Polya, 2013). Fodor (2020) investigated the generational transmission of ethnocultural identity through narratives among people of Hungarian origin (n = 17) living in the diaspora community in the USA using content analysis of interviews. The cultural and ethnic content of the narratives was carried by the Hungarian language, which in itself acted as a means of group cohesion; the analysis of the narratives and their linguistic devices revealed additional identityforming elements. Family memories emerged in the in-depth interviews which were passed down between generations in the community, and the interview texts revealed the narrative heritage and metanarratives which made up the identity of second- or third-generation Hungarians. The culture of their ancestors and the culture of the destination country were mixed in the narratives, which revealed a desire to connect to the past and to identify with the vulnerability of the settling ancestors and the assimilation process of multi-generational Hungarians. Narrative psychological content analysis can be used to map individual or group identity constructs, and can even predict diagnosis through status monitoring in the study of isolated small groups. Such a study was carried out by a team of researchers investigating a space-stimulation environment, specifically the psychological factors that might influence a possible trip to Mars. Social isolation in space was studied through the diaries of six test subjects who lived in an environment for 520 days, the same amount of time it would take to travel to Mars and back. The researchers investigated the physical well-being and emotional status of the individuals, as well as changes in the team spirit of the imaginary crew through content analysis
