The objective of this study was to examine the relationships of autonomy with adjustment among Iranian samples. Two hundred and fifteen (215) Iranian college students were tested using the Self-Determination Scale to measure autonomy and, the General Health Questionnaire to measure adjustment. Negative correlations were found between autonomy and depression (r=-.30), anxiety (r=-.27), somatic symptoms (r=-.21), and social dysfunction (r=-.18).
