| Abstract | Nathanael I. Barnes THE EFFECT OF A MENTORING PROGRAM ON THE SELF-ESTEEM OF FIRST YEAR, LEARNING DISABLED COLLEGE STUDENTS 2003/2004 Dr. John Klanderman and Dr. Roberta Dihoff Master of Arts in School Psychology The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a mentoring program on the selfesteem of first year, learning disabled, college students. A self-esteem assessment was administered prior to the start of the mentoring process. After the students participated in the program for a semester and a half the same self-esteem assessment was given again to determine the change, if any. Also during this time the self-esteem assessment was given to a group of non learning disabled students in the same manner. The participants attended Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. The participants varied in socioeconomic, race and major backgrounds. They were all first year students and attended college full-time. Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant increase in the pre and posttest self-esteem scores for those students with learning disabilities. However, these scores were found to be significantly lower than the scores of the non-learning disabled control group. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Klanderman and Dr. Dihoff for their guidance and support in this study. I would also like to thank Melissa Cox and Jennifer Giorgio for their tireless efforts on this project. Without their help I would not have been able to complete this project. Also, a thanks goes to Dr. Chaskes for starting me on this journey and Robin Waltman for laying the foundation for this study. Finally, special thanks to my wife Meredith for all of her love, encouragement, and support. With her help I found the courage to complete my degree and pursue my dreams. |
