Examining the Impact of Mentors and Role Models on Resilience
Abstract
This U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) research expands beyond previous efforts that have looked more narrowly at the unique benefits of having a mentor or role model on resilience by comparing four groups: individuals with only a mentor, only a role model, both a mentor and role model, and neither a mentor nor role model. Results show that having a role model or having a mentor independently are linked to greater resilience, while the group reporting the highest levels of resilience had a mentor and role model simultaneously. These findings suggest that mentors and role models provide unique benefits that can foster resilience.
