The self-determination of people with disabilities, and specifically people with intellectual disabilities (ID), is a growing issue due to its relevance in the field of inclusion and human rights. Although research has shown a significant relationship between self-determination and intelligence, other factors also contribute to its development. The purpose of this study was to understand what other variables may be influencing self-determination. Using the scores from 483 adolescents and adults with ID who completed the AUTODDIS scale, we performed inferential and regression analyses to determine the relationships between levels of self-determination, personal variables (sex, age, severity of ID), and contextual variables (living environment, specialized supports). We found that self-determination is affected by the severity of ID, and when this variable is controlled for, greater self-determination is mainly related to receiving occupational support and support for autonomy and independent living. Results also showed that, together with ID severity, occupational and psychoeducational support, as well as support for autonomy and independent living, were also predictors of the level of self-determination. In conclusion, this study confirms the importance of contextual variables in the development of self-determination in people with ID, placing the focus of intervention on social opportunities.
残疾人的自决，尤其是智力残疾者的自决，由于其在包容和人权领域的相关性，正成为一个日益重要的问题。尽管研究表明自决与智力之间存在显著关系，但其他因素也对其发展有影响。本研究的目的是了解还有哪些其他变量可能影响自决。我们使用483名完成了AUTODDIS量表的智力残疾青少年和成年人的得分，进行了推论分析和回归分析，以确定自决水平、个人变量（性别、年龄、智力残疾严重程度）和情境变量（生活环境、专业支持）之间的关系。我们发现自决受到智力残疾严重程度的影响，当控制这个变量时，更强的自决主要与获得职业支持以及自主和独立生活支持有关。结果还表明，与智力残疾严重程度一起，职业和心理教育支持以及自主和独立生活支持也是自决水平的预测因素。总之，本研究证实了情境变量在智力残疾者自决发展中的重要性，将干预重点放在社会机会上。
