“…The contribution from ACC was always positive, the more autonomy in the control sense experienced by the adolescence, the higher was their HRQoL. This finding supports earlier claims that autonomy is important for our well-being [5][6][7][8] and extend it by showing that it is not only true for autonomy as volition but also for autonomy in the control sense, for example experiencing influence over what happens in the adolescent's life [12].…”

“…A close relation between autonomy and different measures of well-being is a common finding. Perceived autonomy in adolescence has been found to be negatively related to depression [ 5 ] and positively related to well-being [ 6 ]. Autonomy is also central to self-determination theory (SDT) in which autonomy, competence and relatedness constitute basic psychological needs and the satisfaction of these needs leads to increased well-being in both adolescents and adults [ 7 ], something that also has been verified in numerous empirical studies [ 8 ].…”

Background Autonomy is recognized as important for individual well-being and constitutes one dimension in the KIDSCREEN-instrument measuring health related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents. However, the autonomy questions in KIDSCREEN are restricted to opportunities to influence leisure time activities, which is a form of autonomy as volition. Yet, there are other aspects of autonomy that might be related to adolescent’s HRQoL. The aims of the present study were first to investigate the psychometric properties of a scale measuring autonomy in adolescence from a control perspective (AAC) including its relation to the autonomy dimension in KIDSCREEN, and second; to investigate AACs ability to predict each of the 10 dimensions constituting KIDSCREEN. Methods Students (n = 154) aged 15–16 years who were recruited from schools located in both low (two schools) and high (two schools) socioeconomic status (SES) areas in Sweden participated in a cross-sectional study. The adolescents answered a questionnaire including a new 6-item scale measuring perceived autonomy and HRQoL assessed by the KIDSCREEN-52 instrument. A factor analyses was computed to investigate the relation between the items in the AAC scale and the autonomy items in the KIDSCREEN instrument. Hierarchical regression analyses were computed to investigate if the AAC scale predicted HRQoL in any of the 10 dimensions in KIDSCREEN after controlling for gender, SES and the original autonomy scale included in KIDSCREEN. Results The factor analysis showed that all the items from the autonomy scale loaded in one factor and that all the items from the AAC scale loaded in another dimension. The hierarchical regression models showed that the AAC scale uniquely predicted HRQoL in all dimensions of the KIDSCREEN instrument after controlling for gender, SES and the original autonomy scale included in KIDSCREEN-52. A high level of perceived autonomy was associated with a high level of HRQoL for both scales. Conclusion A new scale for measuring autonomy from a control perspective has been presented and shown to differ from autonomy as volition. Both forms of autonomy are positively related to HRQoL in adolescence 15–16 years old.

“…Health and people’s perception of their quality of life can be influenced by multiple factors [ 35 ], such as environmental, family, school and social ones. This influence becomes especially decisive in adolescence, since there is evidence that it is a key stage in the adoption of healthy habits [ 28 ] and the strengthening of psychosocial behaviors that contribute to the improvement of adolescents’ current and future health [ 36 ].…”

Health-related quality of life, teachers’ opinion of academic performance and self-perceived health are indicators of well-being in the adolescent stage. Some variables, such as those related to the quality of family and parental relationships, may influence these indicators and thus condition well-being during this stage of life and beyond. In this research, the aforementioned variables are analyzed jointly. It is a cross-sectional study in which 1375 adolescent schoolchildren between 11 and 18 years of age participated. Different instruments such as KIDSCREEN-10 and the questionnaire used in the international study Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children were used. The results obtained allow us to conclude that HRQoL, the teacher’s opinion of performance and the perception of health status improve as adolescents perceive a more favorable family climate, also helped by good relations between parents. Finally, it is proposed to continue with the efforts made in the school, family environment and other areas because of the enormous potential for generating quality of life in the adolescent stage and the consequent positive repercussions this has on adulthood.

“…In general, there are two philosophical attitudes in psychological review. Welfare, namely hedonism that underlines the search for happiness; and eudaimonism which puts the phase into a more meaningful way (Avedissian & Alayan, 2021). Seeking happiness is defined as the pursuit of good luck and favorable external conditions that have a positive impact on mental health (Yang et al, 2021).…”
