Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

The degree to which a person's behaviour is autonomously motivated, arising from the self and from intrinsic interest or well-internalised values, rather than controlled by external rewards, pressures, or contingencies: in self-determination theory it is a quality of motivation fostered by satisfying the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Ryan and Deci's 2000 Self-determination theory and the facilitation of intrinsic motivation, social development, and well-being set out how autonomous motivation is supported or undermined, building on Deci and Ryan's 1985 Intrinsic Motivation and Self-Determination in Human Behavior. The referent is a property of an individual's motivation, measured on self-report scales, not a collective right held by a whole people or a set of life skills taught to a person with a disability.[1][2]
The right of a people to freely determine its political status and freely pursue its economic, social, and cultural development, held collectively rather than by any single person: rooted in Wilsonian principles and codified in the United Nations Charter and the common Article 1 of the two 1966 human rights covenants, it grounds contested claims to independence, autonomy, or self-government. Emerson's 1971 Self-Determination traced how the principle passed from a political ideal into a disputed norm of international law. The referent is a collective legal and political entitlement of a people, argued over in treaties and tribunals, not a quality of one person's motivation or a set of individual life skills.[3]
A dispositional characteristic in which a person acts as the primary causal agent in his or her own life and makes choices and decisions about his or her quality of life free from undue external influence: in disability studies and special education it is built from volitional action, self-regulation, psychological empowerment, and self-realisation, and expressed through choice-making, goal-setting, problem-solving, and self-advocacy. Wehmeyer's 1999 A functional model of self-determination defined it as a characteristic of the person that develops across the lifespan and can be taught through instruction. The referent is an individual's causal agency and the skills that support it, assessed by behavioural instruments and cultivated by teaching, not a quality of motivation or a right vested in a whole people.[4]
