| Abstract: | The Stats Mentor project aims to offer peer mentoring bespoke to Psychology and Statistics Anxiety. Evaluation of the pilot intervention was conducted via in depth qualitative semi structured interviews post academic year. Initial results indicate internal motivations for becoming a mentor. Mentors concerns related to unreasonable expectations from mentees alongside their own time and confidence. Mentees asked for a mentor to decrease their levels of anxiety and discussed the beneficial impact leading up to the exam. The findings helped secure a second year of funding with evaluation due to occur in March 2018. |
