Defining Self-Determination
Defining Self-Determination
“Being self-determined is about acting as the causal agent in one’s life (Shogren et al., 2015). Causal agents have the skills and attitudes that enable them to make or cause things to happen in their lives. People who are self-determined self-initiate and self-regulate their actions to solve problems, make decisions, and set goals that impact their lives.
Adolescents become more self-determined as they identify their interests and preferences, set and work toward goals aligned with those interests and preferences, engage in problem-solving and decision making as they encounter barriers in working toward their goals, and advocate for themselves and their needs” (2019).
