Autonomy in Adolescent Development

Towards Conceptual Clarity

Herausgeber: Soenens, Bart; Petegem, Stijn van; Vansteenkiste, Maarten

Beschreibung

Autonomy is a central feature of adolescent development, playing a key role in adolescents' psychosocial adjustment. However, opinions differ about the nature and definition of autonomy and so important questions regarding the role of autonomy in adolescents' development have remained unanswered. This book aims to address these questions while bringing clarity to the literature on adolescent autonomy.
