“…According to Cheon et al (2019), an individual's need for autonomy is an inherent quality of their transition to adulthood, which increases the more they advance toward maturity. A lack of autonomy leads to feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction, which interferes with their level of academic and professional commitment and undermines their level of subjective wellbeing (Riley, 2015;Soenens et al, 2017a;Liga et al, 2018;Villarosa and Ganotice, 2018;Cheon et al, 2019).…”

This study uses scales of autonomy and psychological wellbeing to determine whether young people's gender and romantic relationship status give rise to differences in relation to a series of specific dimensions. To this end, we used Ryff's Model of Psychological Wellbeing, which comprises several dimensions: self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, and purpose in life; and our own Transition to Adulthood Autonomy Scale (EDATVA), whose dimensions are: selforganization, understanding context, critical thinking, and socio-political engagement. As a result, a quantitative study was performed with 1,148 young people aged 16-21 from Madrid, Spain and Bogotá, Colombia, of whom 60.2% were female and 39.8% were male. The findings show that in the gender variable there are differences between males and females in the dimensions of positive relations with others, personal growth (wellbeing questionnaire), and understanding context (autonomy questionnaire); the female sample obtained the highest scores. In the relationship variable, differences were found in environmental mastery and purpose in life; higher scores were obtained by young people in a romantic relationship. However, no differences were found in the different dimensions in the autonomy questionnaire between young people in a relationship and those not.

“…Every scale has 3 items (8 of them reverse) assessed on a scale from 1 -strongly disagree to 6 − strongly agree; α = .55 to .70 on adolescents). The scale has been validated in many cultural contexts (Lin, 2015;Luştrea, Al Ghazi & Predescu, 2018;Villarosa & Ganotice, 2018). In the present investigation, Cronbach's alpha values ranged from .65 to .72.…”

The present article looks into the psychometric properties of the Revised Youth Purpose Survey (RYPS) in the case of a group of Romanian students emerging adults (N = 500). RYPS is a ten-item scale made of two sub-scales which measure Purpose Exploration (4 items) and Purpose Commitment (6 items). Confirmatory factorial analysis indicated an adequate fit of a two-factor model (GFI = .96; AGFI = .94; RMSEA = .057). This structure was confirmed and it was invariant for gender. Cronbach's alpha coefficients show good internal consistency: .87 (Purpose Exploration subscale) and .77 (Purpose Commitment subscale). The correlations of both scales of RYPS with validation measures of psychological and subjective well-being and of identity orientations were positive, indicating good convergent validity. The study validated the conceptual vision of the authors of the instruments in a previously unstudied cultural context.

“…This inventory use six-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree). This scale is reasonably reliable to be used as it has acceptable internal consistency between the subscales with alpha ranging from .66 to .85 (Villarosa & Ganotice, 2018).…”
