Résumé

Abstract Background Autonomy is the ability to perform daily living actions within the environment where we live in (Dos Santos & Makdessi, 2010). It is a multidimensional concept, including 5 dimensions: psychological, functional, professional, digital and social autonomy (Dethoor et al., 2021). However, most studies mainly focused on functional autonomy. In this study we focused on social autonomy (SA) within an integrative approach. Methods We built an integrative tool, the Multidimensional Autonomy Scale (MAS), to assess the 5 dimensions of autonomy. The MAS includes 26 questions, divided in 5 sub‐scales for each autonomy dimension, for which we ask frequency and impact on daily life. In this study, we focused on SA and its relation with empathy and theory of mind among young (18‐40 years), intermediate (40‐60 years), and elderly participants (60‐80 years). We assessed empathy and theory of mind with the Social‐SMAF and the Movie for the Assessment of Social Cognition (MASC). Results We found a decrease of theory of mind through aging, but no social autonomy change nor correlation between theory of mind and social autonomy. Conclusion The decrease of theory of mind might be correlated with other dimensions of social cognition or autonomy. Older participants seem to have less relationships, but not worse, even better sometimes. We encourage clinicians and researcher to assess autonomy within a multidimensional framework and go beyond functional autonomy only.
