The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate how psychological longitudinal research data can be analysed using panel data methods. The determinants of dynamics of PTSD symptoms are used as an example. The approach used here allows for treating data from three measures as unity and incorporating them into one model, instead of estimating three independent data sets. It enables for formal verification of the independent variables – temperamental traits and trauma characteristics – influence on the dependent variable – dimensionally expressed PTSD symptoms intensity. As a result it is possible to verify the hypothesis of different influence of trauma intensity on PTSD symptoms in different family members by comparing parametres' estimates in one model encorporating group of interactive variables. Such approach seems to be an interesting option, contrary to comparisons of parametres' estimates derived from different models.

The target of this study is to introduce one particular life story and on the basis of its content analysis to focus on the narrator’s connection with the period of so-called normalization era in Czechoslovakia. Based on oral history interviews with one narrator during the longitudinal oral history project, the author focuses on whether the memories of a given period change over time and how the narrator reflects on his memories. The author maps the narrator’s family background, the extent to which it shaped him and how he evaluated it as a thirty year old man and now, when he is fifty years old. The core of our narrator’s life story stays the same in principle; he did not change it after twenty years. The reason is that the narrator’s experience and the memories have sunk in and are consistent. What changed in the narrator’s story is the amount of self-reflection that was reflected during the last interview. It was confirmed that shifts in the reflection are a common phenomenon and that some variability may not be conscious. Interpretations and evaluations of life can change, but the experiences themselves do not change.
