The Jingle–Jangle Fallacy in Adolescent Autonomy in the Family: In Search of an Underlying Structure

---

The construct of autonomy has a rich, though quite controversial, history in adolescent psychology. The
present investigation aimed to clarify the meaning and measurement of adolescent autonomy in the family. Based on theory and previous research, we examined whether two dimensions would underlie a wide range of autonomyrelated measures, using data from two adolescent samples (N = 707, 51 % girls, and N = 783, 59 % girls, age range = 14–21 years). Clear evidence was found for a twodimensional structure, with the first dimension reflecting ‘‘volition versus pressure’’, that is, the degree to which adolescents experience a sense of volition and choice as opposed to feelings of pressure and coercion in the parent–adolescent relationship. The second dimension reflected ‘‘distance versus proximity’’, which involves the degree of
interpersonal distance in the parent-adolescent relationship. Whereas volition related to higher well-being, less problem behavior and a secure attachment style, distance was associated mainly with more problem behavior and an avoidant attachment style. These associations were not moderated by age. The discussion focuses on the meaning of adolescent autonomy and on the broader implications of
the current findings. Keywords Autonomy  Independence  Self-determination theory  Distance  Attachment Adolescence
