自我意志型的青少年自主

Abstract

Abstract: Autonomy is an important variable indexing adolescents' psychological maturity.Previous studies focused mainly on the separation-individuation,simply understanding autonomy as the separation from parents in terms of cognition,emotion,and behavior,which emphasized heavily on the separation,rather than the connection.Adolescents' autonomy is a double-edged sword,meaning that separational autonomy hinders individuals' mental health.Therefore,based on self-determination theory and attachment theory,the research analyzed dialectically the separational autonomy in the aspect of motivational endorsement and positive relatedness,and further defined the self-volitional autonomy as a dialectical variable affected by parental styles.Then,after reviewing the positive effects of self-volitional autonomy on functions of mental health,this research found the consistently adaptive functioning of self-volitional autonomy between the cultures of collectivism and individualism.In the end,the enlightening significances of the reinterpretation in autonomy on future study and adolescents' education are discussed.

Key words: autonomy, adolescent, self-determination autonomy, separation-individuation theory, secure attachment
