The Influence of Mentoring on Educational Attitudes, Beliefs, and Behaviors (Eabbs): A Scoping Review
Youth mentoring is a popular means for preventing negative psychosocial outcomes (e.g., high-risk behaviors, school dropout) and promoting positive ones (e.g., matriculation, goal setting). Mentors matched with youth through formal programs, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, are uniquely positioned to promote the development of the mentee’s positive educational attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors (EABBs; e.g., academic engagement, grit, growth mind…
What predicts children’s perceptions of intergroup connections within the classroom: A social networks-based approach
Intergroup connections play a role in fostering positive developmental outcomes. Scholarship has been limited in exploring children's perceptions of such relationships. We apply cognitive social structures and network assortativity coefficients to capture third through eighth grade children's perceptions of intergroup connections related to gender, socio-economic status, and race/ethnicity within their classroom networks. Of the 99 participants, …
Exploring Facilitators and Disruptors of Polarization During Adolescence Within Contested Settings: A Case Study of Catholic and Protestant Youth in Northern Ireland
Today’s adolescents must find ways to engage in a shared reality, especially in settings marked by intergroup conflict, as a prerequisite for reducing conflict and building collective solutions to societal problems. Polarization processes (epistemic) have been notably overlooked within this critical developmental period. This qualitative case study addresses this gap by identifying key socializing actors and settings within established theoretica…
Understanding patterns of hope from informal mentoring through latent class analysis
Profiles in cultural humility: Examining differences in openness to training and match length among volunteer mentors
Trajectories and impact of White mentors’ beliefs about racial and ethnic discrimination in a formal youth mentoring program
To examine associations between White mentors’ beliefs regarding the presence of discrimination towards Black, Indigenous, and people of Color (BIPOC) individuals and mentoring relationship outcomes, mentors’ beliefs about racial/ethnic discrimination were assessed before random mentee assignment and at the end of 9 months of mentoring. White mentors matched with BIPOC youth showed greater increases in beliefs that discrimination limits opportuni…
Exploring civic behaviors amongst college students in a year of national unrest
This study examined the role of demographics, civic beliefs, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in association with distinct forms of civic participation. College students were recruited across 10 institutions of higher education to complete an online survey. Bivariate, multivariable linear, and logistic regressions were performed. Findings indicated that participants from traditionally marginalized backgrounds were more likely to engage in …
