|a Adolescence is a delicate developmental period with substantial emotional, social and psychological growth. This period, with its daily challenges and adversities, has the propensity to become overwhelming. Research suggests that natural or non-parental mentors help to ease the consequences associated with these difficulties, through their support and guidance. The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of non-parental mentors on adolescent self-efficacy, self-esteem, and resiliency. The adolescent participants included 79 middle school students (62% female and 38% male) of Haitian descent. It was hypothesized that non-parental mentors would be correlated with self-efficacy, self-esteem, and resilience and non-parental mentors would predict self-efficacy, self-esteem, and resiliency in adolescents. Participants completed a series of self-report questionnaires online. Findings revealed a positive correlation between perceived social support and self-esteem (r = .26, n = 71, p < .05), and a positive correlation between perceived social support and resilience (r = .47, n = 74, p < .01). Enacted social support was positively correlated with resilience (r = .43, n = 75, p < .01). Stepwise multiple regressions were conducted to determine if social support would predict self-efficacy, self-esteem, and resiliency. Both perceived and enacted social support significantly predict resilience in adolescents (R2 = .33, F (2, 69) = 17.01, p < .001). Results of this study support the notion that non-parental mentors play an important role in the lives of young people, specifically concerning resilience. |
