Parents' promotion of autonomous decision-making (PADM) is essential for adolescents with disabilities and constitutes the basis for maturation of self-determination (SD). SD develops based on adolescents' capacities and the opportunities offered to them at home and at school, to make personal decisions regarding their life.
Examine the associations between the PADM and SD of adolescents with disabilities from their own perspective and that of their parents.
Sixty-nine adolescents with disabilities and one of their parents completed a self-report questionnaire including PADM and SD scales.
The findings showed associations between parents' and adolescents' reports of PADM, and opportunities for SD at home. PADM was associated with capacities for SD among adolescents. Gender differences were also apparent, with both adolescent girls and their parents reporting higher ratings of SD than adolescent boys.
Parents who promote autonomous decision-making among their adolescent children with disabilities start a virtuous circle by offering greater opportunities for SD within the home. In turn, these adolescents rate their SD as higher, and communicate this perspective to their parents. Consequently, their parents offer them more opportunities for autonomous decision-making at home, thus enhancing their SD.
家长促进自主决策（PADM）对于残疾青少年至关重要，是他们自我决策（SD）成熟的基础。SD 的发展基于青少年的能力以及他们在家中和学校获得的机会，使他们能够就自己的生活做出个人决定。
从残疾青少年自身和家长的角度探讨他们的 PADM 与 SD 之间的关系。
69 名残疾青少年及其家长中的一位完成了一份自我报告问卷，其中包括 PADM 和 SD 量表。
研究结果表明，家长和青少年对 PADM 的报告以及在家中获得 SD 的机会之间存在关联。家长促进自主决策与青少年的 SD 能力有关。此外，还存在性别差异，青少年女孩及其家长报告的 SD 评分均高于青少年男孩。
为残疾青少年提供自主决策机会的家长通过在家中提供更多的 SD 机会，从而开启了一个良性循环。反过来，这些青少年对自己的 SD 评价更高，并将这一观点传达给家长。因此，家长为他们提供了更多在家中自主决策的机会，从而增强了他们的 SD。
