Personal autonomy is a fundamental aspect of human well-being. Central to this autonomy is the freedom of choice, leading us towards being the authors of our own lives. Yet this freedom of choice has its limits. In our daily endeavors to achieve various goals - be it in health, social, or organizational contexts - we often find ourselves collaborating with and within various institutions. While these collaborations are essential, they can constrain our personal autonomy, occasionally as a necessary means to facilitate behavioral change. My PhD research centers on exploring the experience of choice limitations within these frameworks. These constraints may arise from direct rules, imposed limitations, or exposure to societal norms. By investigating the effects of choice restrictions on personal autonomy, my aim is to contribute to the development of systems that better support and enhance individual autonomy, balancing institutional needs with personal freedom.
