The Narrated Self: Young Children's Construction of Self in Relation to Others in Conversational Stories of Personal Experience.

Miller, Peggy J.; And Others

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v38 n1 p45-67 Jan 1992

How young children portray themselves in relation to others was examined in naturally occurring stories of personal experience told jointly with family members. The study of 2.5- to 5-year-old culturally diverse children supported developmental theorists' claims about the relational nature of self-development when connected discourse is taken as the unit of analysis.
