Abstract Details

2007, Doctor of Education (Educational Leadership), Youngstown State University, Department of Teacher Education and Leadership Studies.
This exploratory study assessed the importance of non-cognitive variables in aiding toward African American males’ academic success in college. More specifically, it assessed how mentoring influenced African American males who were currently in their junior and senior year of college and received at least a 2.0 grade point average to persist at a predominantly White public institution. Twelve randomly selected African American males completed a Demographic Questionnaire and one face-to-face interview. The Demographic Questionnaire and interview transcripts were analyzed for cultural themes and a Mentor Taxonomy was developed. The results suggested that mentors help successful African American males in their transition adjustment to college and improves upon their academic, social and emotional development.
