Two studies explore the narrative construction of self‐perceptions in conversational storytelling among pairs of same‐sex friends. Specifically, the studies examined how listener behavior can support or undermine attempts to self‐verify in personal storytelling. In two studies (n=100 dyads), speakers told attentive, distracted, or disagreeable (Study 1 only) friends about a recent experience. Distracted, but not disagreeable, friends tended to undermine participants' attempts to verify their self‐perception of being interested in an activity (Study 1) or their self‐perception that an event was typical for them (Study 2). These results support the notion that friends can be an important source of influence on self‐perceptions and, perhaps surprisingly, suggest that responsiveness from friends, rather than agreement per se, may be crucial for supporting self‐verification processes.
