Narrating emotional experiences to important others contributes to socioemotional and self-development from early childhood through adulthood. However, to date, almost no work has explored the distinctive ways that different listeners might shape narration, and the socioemotional outcomes of narrating experience. The present study examines how early adolescents (n = 106, age range 12-14, 54 girls, 21% low-income, 7% Latinx, 3% non-White) narrate anger experiences to mothers and close same-sex friends. Our findings suggest that these two listeners provide distinct affordances for narration, with implications for emotions and learning. Mothers provide a more elaborative, emotion-focused narrative context, whereas friends provide a playful, creative narrative context. Friends elicit larger reductions in distress than mothers, although listener-associated differences in learning were more complex. Findings are discussed in terms of implications for narrative development specifically as well as more generally for relatively underexamined aspects of narrative across adolescence and adulthood.

母亲和朋友作为青少年愤怒叙述的听众：独特的发展启示。

向重要的他人讲述情感经历有助于从儿童早期到成年的社会情感和自我发展。然而，迄今为止，几乎没有任何工作探索不同听众可能塑造叙述的独特方式，以及叙述体验的社会情感结果。本研究调查了早期青少年（n = 106，年龄范围 12-14，54 名女孩，21% 的低收入人群，7% 的拉丁裔，3% 的非白人）如何向母亲和亲密的同性朋友讲述愤怒经历。我们的研究结果表明，这两个听众为叙述提供了不同的启示，对情绪和学习有影响。母亲提供了一个更加详尽、以情感为中心的叙事背景，而朋友则提供了一个有趣、创造性的叙事背景。朋友比母亲更能减少痛苦，尽管与听众相关的学习差异更为复杂。研究结果将根据对叙事发展的影响进行讨论，特别是对青春期和成年期叙事中相对未被充分研究的方面进行更广泛的讨论。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
