Chinese migrant children’s mental health and career efficacy: The roles of mentoring relationship quality and self-efficacy
Open accessAbstract
The current study aimed to examine whether migrant children’s relationship quality with mentors could make unique contributions in predicting their mental health and career efficacy, above and beyond the prediction from their relationship quality with parents. Based on social cognitive theory, it was also proposed that migrant children’s self-efficacy beliefs may mediate the positive effects of mentoring relationship quality on career efficacy and mental health. A survey study was conducted among Chinese migrant children (n=114) who joined a mentorship program in Beijing, China. The results showed that after controlling for the effects of parent relationship quality, mentoring relationship quality made a unique contribution in predicting migrant children’s career efficacy and mental health. In addition, path analysis revealed that the positive effects of mentoring relationship quality were fully mediated by children’s self-efficacy beliefs. These results revealed the importance of a mentor-mentee relationship in migrant children’ personal growth and provided preliminary evidence on the mechanisms underlying this process.

Studies internationally have underscored the widespread notion of mentoring as a warm, caring relationship, with only passing attention paid to the role played by race and ethnicity in formal mentoring relationships.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
