autonomy support

Autonomy support refers to actions and communication that encourage individuals to feel in control of their own choices and actions. It involves understanding their perspectives, providing meaningful options, and fostering a sense of independence. Instead of dictating what to do, autonomy support guides and motivates by nurturing a person's intrinsic desire to learn and engage, which can enhance motivation, well-being, and performance. It’s about creating an environment where people feel trusted, supported, and capable of making their own decisions.
