The preference for and exercise of autonomous decision-making in adolescence is a normative developmental process. Yet, increased autonomy is associated with both risks and benefits. Connection to others through positive relationships, including mentoring relationships, is one context that predicts healthy autonomous decision-making. In other ways, such relationships can interfere or stifle the development of autonomy. In synthesizing the existing scientific literature on autonomy development and autonomy-supportive practices, we propose a framework for considering the role of mentors in supporting autonomy through five domains of influence: role modeling, encouraging, providing access to resources, relationships, and experiences, advocacy, and conversations about behavior change. We provide suggestions for research and practice.

支持青年指导关系中的自主权

青春期对自主决策的偏好和行使是一个规范的发展过程。然而，增加自主权与风险和收益相关。通过积极的关系（包括指导关系）与他人建立联系是预测健康自主决策的一种环境。在其他方面，这种关系可能会干扰或扼杀自治的发展。在综合现有的关于自主发展和自主支持实践的科学文献时，我们提出了一个框架来考虑导师在通过五个影响领域支持自主的作用：角色建模、鼓励、提供资源、关系和经验、倡导，以及关于行为改变的对话。我们为研究和实践提供建议。
