Abstract

Self-determination–defined as the right to have a say in decisions that affect them–is integral to children’s well-being. We investigated how 86 Caribbean youth’s views on socioeconomic inequality related to their support for self-determination. Self-determination support is related to youth's structural and fatalistic attributions of inequality, but not individualistic attributions.
