“…The other subscales were also reliable, with values very close to or higher than .850. Although these results were slightly lower than those observed in the original validation of the scale in people with intellectual disability, where all subscales bar one yielded values above .900 (Verdugo, Vicente, Guillén, Sánchez, Ibáñez, & Gómez, 2021), they demonstrate that the AUTODDIS scale can produce consistent and reliable information on the general level of self-determination and its components to assess people with SMD.…”

“…An exploratory structural equation model was tested, providing evidence of validity based on the internal structure (Vicente et al, 2020). All coefficients indicated excellent internal consistency for the global scale and for the subscales (Verdugo, Vicente, Guillén, Sánchez, Ibáñez, & Gómez 2021).…”

“…The AUTODDIS scale (Verdugo, Vicente, Guillén, Sánchez, Ibáñez, Fernández-Pulido, et al, 2021) was used to assess selfdetermination. The original purpose of this scale was to identify the self-determination profile of people with intellectual disability aged between 11 and 40 years.…”

“…Currently, instruments to assess self-determination are scarce and none are specific to mental health. The AUTODDIS scale (Verdugo, Vicente, Guillén, Sánchez, Ibáñez, Fernández-Pulido, et al, 2021), which was recently developed and validated in Spain, is the only proxy-report scale that assesses self-determination in both young people and adults with intellectual disability. Given the satisfactory results obtained with this tool (Vicente et al, 2020) and the potential to generalize its use in other contexts, the purpose of this study is to test and present evidence of the reliability and validity of the AUTODDIS scale applied to a Spanish population with SMD.…”

Objective: Self-determination enhances well-being and quality of life. It is also considered a fundamental pillar in improving the efficacy of interventions used to treat people with severe mental disorders (SMD). Yet the assessment of self-determination in relation to mental health requires further research. The aim of this study was to analyze the adequacy and psychometric properties of the AUTODDIS scale in a Spanish population with SMD. Method: The scale was originally developed and validated to assess self-determination in people with intellectual disability. The scale was administered to a sample of 333 adults with SMD (M = 47.6 years, SD = 11.68), most of whom were receiving treatment in an outpatient setting or at long-stay care facilities in six specialized centers in Spain. Results: The quality of the items and the reliability of the scale and its subscales were analyzed. External validity was also explored, and confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze the fit of the data to different models. The results indicate that the scale demonstrated sufficient evidence of reliability and validity, supporting the adequacy of its use in the field of mental health. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: The use of this scale as a tool to assess self-determination and its domains in the mental health field is warranted. The article also discusses the need for more research and assessment tools to facilitate decision making by clinical and organizational stakeholders in promoting self-determination.

“…Self-determination theory assumes that individuals -in toto -are prone to growth, learning, mastery, and connection with others. In fact, self-determination is a construct that is acquiring ever wider relevance in the field of disabilities (Lindsay and Varahra 2022), especially intellectual and developmental disabilities (Sánchez et al 2022, Verdugo et al 2023) (even if in Italy it has not yet assumed the necessary centrality in the scientific debate and in educational applications).…”

ATINER is an Athens-based World Association of Academics and Researchers based in Athens. ATINER is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER's downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles' Funeral Oration", in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER's mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people's opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one's opinion formed the basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the 'truth' are the pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words in ATINER's name.
