Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

123
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development

Self-Help Support Groups01:28

Self-Help Support Groups

75
Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.

Persuasion Strategies01:52

Persuasion Strategies

39.5K
Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Social Facilitation

32.8K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering Education
  • Undergraduate Student Success
  • Peer Mentoring Programs

Background:

  • Inclusion is crucial for undergraduate campus experience, academic success, and career development.
  • First-year students in Biomedical Engineering (BME) often struggle with engagement, impacting retention and academic progress.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated challenges for first-year students in forming connections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a peer mentoring program for incoming BME first-year students.
  • To facilitate a smooth transition from high school to college for BME students.
  • To enhance the campus experience and academic progress of first-year BME students.

Main Methods:

  • Established a BME peer mentoring program assigning a BME mentor to each first-year student.
  • Mentors (BMES officers/Honor Society members) initiated contact in summer and engaged in monthly meetings.
  • Program included departmental support, mentor training, and required event participation.

Main Results:

  • The peer mentoring program successfully built peer relationships and encouraged first-year students' educational progress.
  • Mentee participation in BME and BMES events increased.
  • Mentors reported enhanced confidence, leadership, and communication skills.

Conclusions:

  • The BME peer mentoring program effectively supported first-year students' transition and integration into the university.
  • The program fostered a sense of community and improved engagement with departmental activities.
  • Peer mentoring offers a valuable strategy for enhancing undergraduate student success in STEM fields.
