Abstract

Adolescence is a life stage characterized by change and the transition to adulthood. Multidisciplinary approaches have focused their interest in adolescence due to its endemic and generational characteristics. The adolescent's motivation to develop self-determined action plans emerges as a cornerstone in the construction of its identity and its life projection.

A systematized review research design is applied, which is developed from two objectives: to understand the phenomenon of motivation in adolescence and the different approaches that have been taken to promote their self-determination, and to optimize opportunities for accompaniment in the construction of life projects. The premises of the PRISMA statement are considered to analyze twenty articles, whose results highlight the interest in supporting adolescent autonomy, the satisfaction of their psychological needs for their subjective well-being, that is structured from the sense of authenticity, and decision making from self-regulation and the influence of the environment. Academic performance emerges as a systemic key of interest that contextualizes and affects life projects.

The practical applications focus on early adolescence and take into account the need to promote competencies for self-regulation and internalization of adolescent motivation. Psychological support for self-determination requires empathy with the adolescent, their situations, and prescribes a constructive evaluation of their experiences.
