“…The last position in this research is the "autonomy" dimension, in which the research subjects are mostly adolescents coming from outside of Yogyakarta and only meet in relatively short period of time. In line with the results of research conducted by Lisa, Netta, Jahlil, Michael, Christian, and Afzal [23] that the adolescents with high personal autonomy may integrate their positive and negative identities, feel satisfied and are close to their groups. Meanwhile, the adolescents with lower autonomy only recognize their positive identity and do not feel dissatisfied and close to their groups.…”

The research aims to investigate the adolescents' psychological well-being and gratitude. The research type is a quantitative study with a survey method. The research subjects are adolescents aged 17-21 years old comprising 13 males and 41 females. The psychological wellbeing and gratitude are measured with a scale. The instrument test items are evaluated from the correlation of total items with the product moment formula. Psychological well-being variable has 26 valid and 10 invalid statement items with the reliability value of 0.877. Meanwhile, the gratitude variable has 19 valid and 1 invalid statement items with the reliability of 0.892. The research data are analyzed using a percentage descriptive technique. Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that the adolescents' psychological well-being is classified into the high category, while the gratitude is classified into the very high category. Due to the psychological well-being aspects, the highest percentage belongs to Purpose in Life (understanding the purpose of life). Meanwhile, the highest percentage in gratitude aspects belongs to Thank God (expressing gratitude to God).

“…Building on early SDT theorizing [28], dispositional autonomy is comprised of three components that together make up the concept: 1) a tendency toward self-congruence, 2) an ability to take interest in one's emotional experiences, and 3) a lower vulnerability to momentary pressures and controls [27]. Findings show that individuals with this disposition experience daily activities more positively, and better integrate life experiences into their other views of the self with less internal conflict [29]. Further, dispositional autonomy seems important for felt comfort with one's experiences of the self [30], and for making sense of potentially conflictual emotions [31].…”

The present research examined personality underpinnings of 2 conceptually distinct phenomena that reflect different motivations for aloneness. Autonomy for aloneness reflects reasons for aloneness driven by enjoyment and personal interest, whereas preference for aloneness concerns a tendency to spend time alone that is motivated by a disinterest in socialness. We investigated 4 personality characteristics: introversion from big-five personality theory, dispositional autonomy from self-determination theory, anxious and avoidant attachment from attachment theory. In 4 diary studies (N = 798), dispositional autonomy consistently predicts autonomy for aloneness, but is unrelated to preference for aloneness. Contradicting to popular belief that introverts like to spend time alone, the results showed no supporting evidence that introversion is predictive of neither forms of motivation for aloneness.

“Grabbing” Autonomy When the Learning Environment Doesn’t Support it: An Evidence-based Guide for Medical Learners

According to self-determination theory (SDT), environments which support the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness will facilitate autonomous motivation, learning, and wellness. On the other hand, environments which introduce external controls and power dynamics into the equation will do the opposite. Educational studies support these principles, yet most have focused on learners’ need satisfaction as a passive process (e.g., via support or hindrance by educators), rather than the agentic pursuit that SDT emphasizes. In this commentary, I draw on my experience as a practicing physician and SDT researcher, and focus on how medical learners can “grab” more autonomy when the learning environment does not support it. I present a hypothetical case of a preceptor whose teaching style is controlling and unfortunately well-known to medical learners. I then unpack the case and outline different strategies that medical learners can use to navigate this type of interpersonal conflict.
