Studies have revealed significant positive associations between mentoring programs and increases in at-risk youths' socio-emotional, cognitive, and identity development. Specifically, the relationship quality between mentor and mentee has been identified as central to outcomes for youth positive development trajectory. Many studies have examined mentor-mentee relationship quality using self-report measures (Dutton, Deane, & Bullen, 2018; Karcher, Nakkula, & Harris, 2005; Rhodes, Schwartz, Willis, & Wu, 2017). This study utilized both self-report measures and methodological tools to naturalistically collect data to examine mentor-mentee relationship quality. By assessing both the mentor and mentee perception of the relationship quality with self-report and observed measures, researchers will be able to identify differences or overlap between these two measures. We hypothesize both mentor and mentee observed relationship qualities will be related to self-reported mentor-mentee relationship quality in small to moderate amounts. Specifically, we anticipate a positive association between the two.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
