How narrative identity and well-being are intertwined as emerging adults process their lived experiences remains a critical theoretical and empirical question. We studied narrative identity among US emerging adults in a multiphase study. We aimed to test (1) if and how narrative identity themes (i.e., coherence, agency, growth) change rapidly across repeated narrations; (2) are related to reports of psychological adjustment (i.e., well-being, recent stress) over time; and (3) whether the valence of the autobiographical event nuanced the ways narrative identity and adjustment co-evolve.

叙事身份告知心理调整：考虑在五个时间点和两个事件效价中捕获的三个主题

当新兴成年人处理他们的生活经历时，叙事身份和幸福如何交织在一起仍然是一个重要的理论和经验问题。我们在一项多阶段研究中研究了美国新兴成年人的叙事身份。我们旨在测试 (1) 叙事身份主题（即连贯性、代理、增长）是否以及如何在重复叙事中迅速变化；(2) 与随时间推移的心理调整报告（即幸福感、近期压力）有关；（3）自传事件的价值是否对叙事身份和调整共同进化的方式产生了细微的影响。
