A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
Abstract Student-engagement is an important prerequisite for academic success. Research shows that it can be influenced by external factors such as instructor behavior or instructor communication (Hardre 2006; Maric & Sakac, 2014). In the current study, we investigated the relationship between self-disclosure from the peer-mentor as well as from the faculty-mentor on student-engagement and whether identification plays a mediating role in it. Furthermore, we looked at two dimensions of self-disclosure, namely amount and relevance. We proposed, that self-disclosure from the peer- as well as the faculty-mentor will have a positive relationship with student-engagement and that identification will mediate the relationship. We conducted a mediation analysis carried out as a cross-sectional/ correlational online survey study with 107 participants. The results show, a significant relationship between the relevance of faculty-mentor self-disclosure and students’ identification with their faculty-mentor as well as a direct effect between the relevance of faculty-mentor self-disclosure on student-engagement. We conclude, that indeed, self-disclosure from the faculty-mentor can have an influence on student-engagement. Keywords: Student-engagement, self-disclosure, identification, peer-mentor, faculty-mentor
