Abstract

Natural youth mentoring focuses on cross-age relationships that develop organically outside the construct of youth programs. In the United States, research has demonstrated the positive impact of these mentorships and scholars have applied natural concepts to formal mentoring schema. Little work has been done to examine how these relationships emerge and the factors that impact their development. This study, designed in partnership with a school in rural México, aimed to unpack these questions using grounded theory. Participants were students, alumni, and teachers. Data were collected through semistructured interviews. Findings indicate that despite adults' interest to create mentorships, adolescents and emerging adults will likely not be receptive until they are cognitively and emotionally ready. This study illuminated three factors of readiness—inhibitors, promoters, and activators—which contribute to this state of readiness at which point engagement with an adult seems to elevate from the typical bounds of youth–adult relationships to the natural mentorship level.

探索自然发生的导师制是如何在墨西哥文化背景下产生的。
自然青年辅导侧重于在青年计划构建之外有机发展的跨年龄关系。在美国,研究已经证明了这些指导的积极影响,学者们将自然概念应用于正式的指导模式。很少有人研究这些关系是如何产生的以及影响它们发展的因素。这项研究是与墨西哥农村的一所学校合作设计的,旨在利用扎根的理论来解开这些问题。参与者包括学生、校友和教师。数据是通过半结构化访谈收集的。研究结果表明,尽管成年人有兴趣创建导师制,但青少年和新兴成年人在认知和情感准备好之前可能不会接受。这项研究阐明了促成这种准备状态的准备抑制剂、启动子和激活剂的三个因素,在这一点上,与成年人的接触似乎从青年-成年人关系的典型界限提升到了自然的指导水平。
