Abstract
Teaching involves a process of relational development and requires effective interpersonal communication skills to achieve satisfying outcome (Frymier, 1994). This paper examines the student-mentor relationship, focusing on the effects that relevant self-disclosure (from a mentor) has on the perceived relational satisfaction of the students, using trust as a mediating variable for this relationship. One hundred and two first year psychology students were acquired through the means of snowball sampling ,and convenience sampling, and filled in a survey indicating their perception of their mentors from a specific course they were currently taking part in. For the current paper three scales were utilized for the instrumentation of the design, namely, the relational satisfaction scale (Anderson et al., 2001), the student trust in faculty scale (Forsyth et al., 2012), and the teacher self-disclosure scale (Cayanus and Martin, 2008). The results of this paper suggest that there is a significant relationship between relevant self-disclosure of mentors and the feeling of higher level relational satisfaction of students. Furthermore, trust is suggested to be a significant mediator in the relationship. This study concludes that the use of relevant self-disclosure from an instructor can positively affect their students’ relational satisfaction in class. Additionally, the presence of trust seems to strengthen the relationship. Keywords: mentor, student, self-disclosure, trust, relational satisfaction
