ABSTRACT

We investigated the effects of mentoring on selected attributes among high-school mentors. Three attributes were explored: altruism, diligence, and student leadership. Sixty-eight high-school juniors and seniors participated as mentors to high-school freshman students. Mentors participated in a leadership training program prior to beginning their mentoring activities. Pre- and post-test measures of the three attributes were administered using a paired t-test. Results showed no significant increase in diligence scores, and a significant increase in the perception of leadership scores. Unexpectedly, the mentoring experience produced a significant decrease in altruism scores throughout the 2015–2016 school-year. Implications for implementing a mentoring program in a high school setting are discussed.

摘要

我们调查了指导对高中指导者中选定属性的影响。探索了三个属性：利他，勤奋和学生领导能力。68名高中生和年长者参加了高中新生的指导活动。在开始指导活动之前，导师参加了领导力培训计划。使用配对t检验对这三个属性的测试前和测试后进行测量。结果显示勤奋分数没有显着提高，领导力得分的感知也没有显着提高。出乎意料的是，在2015-2016学年期间，辅导经验大大降低了利他主义得分。讨论了在高中环境中实施指导计划的含义。
