improved emotional well-being for parent mentees

psychosoziales Befinden

An even greater impact can be observed as regards emotional well-being. In the survey, the average starting point (2.76) was even lower than for self-confidence and self-esteem and, while the average end point was also lower, the average gain and the attribution to mentoring were higher. Almost two-thirds rated their emotional well-being 1-3 at the start of mentoring while at the end of mentoring none did so. The extent of improvement was significant in many cases, with almost half making gains of at least five scale points. The attribution to mentoring was the highest of all variables, at 81 percent. Again, this is consistent with evidence from interviews.
