Abstract

Background

Home is a key context to foster self-determination. This study examined whether intellectual disability moderates the relationship between home-based opportunities to engage in self-determined actions and self-determination levels.

Method

Middle and high school students with and without intellectual disabilities (aged 13–22) completed the AIR-S questionnaire, which evaluates self-determination capacity and opportunities at home. A moderation model was used to examine the relationship between home opportunities and self-determination, as well as the moderating role of intellectual disability.

Results

A positive association was found between home-based opportunities and self-determination. Although intellectual disability was not a significant direct predictor of self-determination, once opportunities were considered, it significantly moderated this relationship, indicating that the positive association between opportunities at home and self-determination became progressively stronger as levels of intellectual disability increased.

Conclusions

Home-based opportunities play a critical role in fostering self-determination. Intellectual disability conditions how strongly supportive environments translate into self-determined actions.

以家庭为基础的机会和青年的自我决定：当智力残疾影响环境时。

背景：家庭是促进自决的关键环境。本研究考察了智力残疾是否会调节家庭参与自主行动的机会与自我决定水平之间的关系。方法：采用AIR-S问卷对13 ~ 22岁无智力障碍的初高中学生进行自我决定能力和家庭生活机会的评估。采用调节模型考察了家庭机会与自我决定之间的关系，以及智力残疾的调节作用。结果：家庭机会与自我决定之间存在正相关关系。虽然智力残疾不是自我决定的重要直接预测因素，但一旦考虑到机会，它就会显著调节这种关系，表明随着智力残疾水平的增加，家庭机会和自我决定之间的正相关关系变得越来越强。结论：以家庭为基础的机会在培养自我决定方面发挥着关键作用。智力残疾取决于强大的支持性环境如何转化为自主行动。
