ABSTRACT The purpose of this quantitative study was to understand how training and the development of the mentoring relationship impacts mentor beliefs across time within a therapeutic mentoring program called Campus Connections, a community engagement program that pairs university undergraduate and graduate students with youth from the local community in a mentoring relationship for an academic semester. Specifically, we studied how mentor beliefs are constructed at the start of the mentoring program, how these beliefs shift after four weeks of training, and how mentor beliefs change after participating in the mentoring process during an academic semester. Results indicated mentors held unhelpful mentoring beliefs prior to training and that training combined with the mentoring relationship created a positive impact on mentoring beliefs. Implications for the mentoring relationship and community engagement programs are discussed based on the trajectory of mentor beliefs within the study.

社区参与：培训和经验中的导师信念

摘要这项定量研究的目的是了解名为“校园联系”的治疗性指导计划中的培训和指导关系的发展如何跨时间影响指导者信念，该社区参与计划将大学本科生和研究生与当地社区的年轻人配对在一个学期的指导关系中。具体来说，我们研究了在指导计划开始时如何构建指导者信念，经过四个星期的培训后这些信念如何转变以及在一个学期参与指导过程后指导者信念如何变化。结果表明，指导者在培训之前持有无益的指导信念，而培训与指导关系的结合对指导信念产生了积极影响。
