Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of one-on-one mentoring program on the academic, social, psychological, and career needs of newly arrived refugees in the United States. Specifically, the research was concerned with the separated and combined effects of the variables gender and age on the academic, social, career, and psychological needs of mentored newly arrived refugees in the United States. The sample consisted of 50 refugee youth from two serving agencies located in the southern region of the United States. Judgmental sampling was utilized to select the population sample. Non-randomized control group, pretest-posttest design, and 2x2 Factorial design were used to analyze the combined effects of one-on-one mentoring programs on the academic, social, psychological, and career needs of newly arrived refugees. The RASCPN Questionnaire was used to collect data for this study. There were eight hypotheses tested at the .05 level of significance or better in this study. All eight hypotheses were tested for differences in the academic, social career, and psychological needs of newly arrived refugees based on their mentoring status, age, and gender. Hypothesis four was the only hypothesis of the eight null hypotheses that was found to be significant. The most interesting finding of the present study related to the significant influence that a one-on-one mentor program on the psychological needs of newly arrived refugees in the United States. Newly arrived refugees who were involved in one-on-one mentoring had significantly higher perceived psychological need scores than their counterparts who were not involved in one-on-one mentoring.
