Summary

This is one of two chapters that focus on the influence of co-narrators on narrative text and on narrators’ narrative and coping abilities. The chapter opens with a summary of listeners’ active contributions that are instrumental for keeping the narrating going. The central thesis on the scaffolding of immature (or neurotic, chapter 12) narrators’ narration by fully socialized (or specifically trained, chapter 12) co-narrators maintains that they add perspectives to the narratives, which helps the narrators reappraise and cope with the event. Furthermore, it helps narrators acquire the abilities to narrate and reappraise more fully for coping with future experiences. The chapter then focusses on co-narrations by parents and their adolescents, which still at this age serve to scaffold the coping function of narrating by complementing a series of narrative devices which help reappraise emotional experiences. This is exemplified by the co-narration of a 12-year-old and her mother.
