“…For example, researchers have found that young women with disabilities in the United States are reportedly more self‐determined (Lee et al., ; Shogren et al., ), though men without disabilities have also scored higher in terms of self‐determination measures in other countries, such as Italy (Nota, Soresi, Ferrari, & Wehmeyer, ). Other studies in other cultural contexts, such as Spain, have not found significant differences based on gender (Vicente et al., in press; Wehmeyer, & Garner, ). With regards to age, self‐determination skills tend to increase throughout adolescence (Nota, Soresi, Ferrari, & Wehmeyer, ; Shogren, Wehmeyer, Palmer, & Paek, ), though it has not been reported as a significant self‐determination predictor (Vicente et al., in press).…”
