“…If so, then young men may believe they have greater freedom, autonomy, and agency in navigating their lives as compared to young women. Our results align with previous findings suggesting that men have higher personal agency scores than women (Bjuggren & Elert, 2019;Fallan & Opstad, 2016;Hurault et al, 2020).…”

This study focuses on emerging adults’ personal agency, an individual feature associated with enhanced adaptive and resilient developmental trajectories. The two objectives were to explore the role of demographic, psychosocial risk, and relational factors in predicting personal agency and analyze whether romantic attachment mediates the connection between parental attachment and personal agency. The sample consisted of 607 Portuguese emerging adults aged between 18 and 30 years. Structural equation modeling results suggest that men are more likely to exhibit higher levels of personal agency than women. Trustful romantic relations and good paternal emotional bonds are associated with greater personal agency, while dependent romantic relations and maternal relations, characterized by inhibition of exploration, are associated with lower personal agency. Moreover, in romantic relations, trust, unlike dependence, partially mediates the association between parental attachment and personal agency. These findings are discussed based on attachment and self-determination theories, considering the importance of secure relationships for agency and autonomy in personal actions. This study provides important evidence for the influencers and mediators of personal agency, contributing to a better understanding of this individual capacity.

“…Empirical evidence has highlighted, also, sex and age of adolescents as factors that are an important role in sense of agency (Hitlin & Long, 2009; Hurault et al, 2020), as well as in parents’ emotion-coaching (Hughes & Dunn, 2002), and in attachment to parents (Mota & Rocha, 2012). Boys are more likely to understand themselves as more agentic than girls (Hurault et al, 2020) and as youth mature and acquire more autonomy with age, they tend to reveal a greater sense of personal agency (Hitlin & Long, 2009). Thus, a fully specified understanding of the contribution of parental meta-emotion and attachment to parents in sense of personal agency of adolescents cannot be achieved without taking into account the role of these variables.…”

Guided by attachment theory, we explored in the present study the links between parental emotioncoaching, attachment to parents, and adolescent's sense of agency. Further, we examined a possible mediating role of adolescent's attachment to parents in the association between parental emotion-coaching and sense of agency. All models control for cumulative psychosocial risk, and adolescents' sex and age, and take into account the reports of both mothers and fathers. The sample included 501 Portuguese families comprising adolescents, their mothers, and their fathers. Adolescents (ages ranged from 15 to 18) reported on their attachment to parents, personal agency, and cumulative psychosocial risk, whereas mothers and fathers independently completed a questionnaire assessing their meta-emotion skills. The results indicate that both mothers' and fathers' emotional-coaching are positively associated with the quality of adolescent's attachment to parents. Nonetheless, parental emotion-coaching are not directly associate with sense of agency. The quality of emotional bond with father is linked to a more positive sense of agency, while relationships characterized by mother's inhibition of adolescent's exploration are associated with less positive perceptions of agency. Parental emotion-coaching seems to be associated with the sense of personal agency through the quality of attachment to parents. These results are discussed according to attachment theory taking into account the parents' importance to adolescents' development. Our findings provide a first attempt to unravel the possible links between parental emotion-coaching, attachment to parents, and sense of agency; nevertheless, they need to expand.

“…Gender also appears to be a dimension that has an impact 41,44,45 and is an important factor in adolescents’ agency during life transitions. 60,67,68 While parents and adolescents recognize the importance of interdependence, many expressed that gender may intersect with interdependence, specifically for young men. 41,42 Participants from studies conducted by Pritlove et al 41 and Ramchandani et al 42 highlighted that young men could be more vulnerable to unsafe T1DM self-management due to social constructions of masculinity.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic literature review was to explore studies that report the experiences of adolescents, their families, and health care professionals of adolescents’ transition to self-management of type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Methods: SocINDEX, PsycInfo, APA PsycArticles, and MEDLINE electronic databases were searched. Studies reporting on experiences of transition to self-management of T1DM for adolescents, their parents, siblings, and health care professionals published between January 2010 amd December 2021 were included. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool guided trustworthiness and relevance of selected studies. Results: A total of 29 studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings indicate that adolescents’ experiences of transitioning to self-management of T1DM are interconnected with the supports provided by others (eg, family, teachers, friends). Considering interdependence and collective lived experiences is essential to developing effective and personalized family, peer, and social interventions to facilitate transition and to avoid negative outcomes in later life. The renegotiation of roles within the network of supports that impact adolescents’ transition and adolescents’ self-negotiation have been neglected. Conclusion: Transition to self-management of T1DM is a dynamic and iterative process comprising of continuous shifts between interdependence and independence, making it challenging for all involved. A number of research gaps and avenues for future research are outlined.
