Acting in a self-determined manner, that is, using problem-solving or decision-making strategies, strongly depends on the opportunities the person is given to do so by the context. In fact, context can either facilitate or thwart the opportunities of adolescents and young adults for self-determined action, though there is, to date, a lack of instruments within the Spanish context to assess these opportunities.
This study aims to address this need by adapting and validating the AIR self-determination scale to the Spanish context with a sample of young Spanish people with and without disabilities.
The results showed acceptable psychometric properties of validity and reliability, and stressed differences in school and home opportunities for developing self-determination depending on the presence or absence of disability.
The Spanish version of the AIR self-determination scale stands as a psychometrically robust instrument to assess capacities and opportunities for acting in a self-determined manner in all young people. Implications based on the differences in contextual opportunities arising from the presence of disability are also further discussed.
自主行动,即使用解决问题或决策策略,强烈依赖于个人所处的环境所给予的机会。事实上,环境既可以为青少年和年轻人提供自主行动的机会,也可以阻碍这些机会,尽管迄今为止,西班牙语环境中缺乏评估这些机会的工具。
本研究旨在通过对有和没有残疾的年轻西班牙人样本进行适应性调整和验证,来满足这一需求。
结果显示,该量表具有可接受的信度和效度,强调了学校和家庭在发展自主决定方面的机会因残疾的存在与否而存在差异。
AIR 自主决定量表的西班牙语版本是一种具有心理测量学可靠性的工具,可用于评估所有年轻人自主行动的能力和机会。还进一步讨论了残疾带来的环境机会差异所产生的影响。
