“…Other experiments have revealed that business majors increased their self-efficacy after taking part in an academic self-management training course (Gerhardt & Brown, 2006) or that nursing students could improved their self-efficacy in caring for elders through a reminiscence education program. Unrau and Beck (2004) enhanced more student research self-efficacy with social work students enrolled in both research and practice courses with respect to those who took only practice courses. Not all training programs do succeed in increasing students' self-efficacy.…”

Community psychology theorists underline the importance of promoting sociopolitical empowerment, but few studies have been conducted on the evaluation of the efficacy of empowering programs among university students. The authors report two studies: the first, with 216 psychology majors, compared the efficacy of face-to-face and online community psychology seminars in promoting perceived sociopolitical empowerment and self efficacy. The second, with 170 psychology majors, explored if differences in teachers experiences affected students sociopolitical empowerment. Results of ANOVA, on measures of empowerment and self-efficacy, indicate that learning community psychology principles and a community analysis skill did increase sociopolitical empowerment and efficacies in all studies, both in online and face-to-face settings, regardless of teachers' experience. Implications for promoting active citizenship and attracting more students to community psychology programs are discussed. C 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…According to Unrau & Beck (2004), social work students' reluctance to embrace empirical research was related to a lack of confidence. They used a novel approach to engage them and increase their confidence so they could achieve mastery, but with disappointing results.…”

Despite wide application of research skills in higher education, undergraduate students reported research and computer anxiety, and low association between research and their professional goals. This study aims to assess whether peer-assisted mentoring programs would promote positive changes in undergraduates' attitudes toward research. Using a quasi-experimental one-group, pretest-posttest research design, the study assessed changes in attitudes by having doctoral candidates mentor undergraduate students during a summer statistics camp. Findings from paired-samples t-test indicated that students became familiar with the twelve statistical concepts upon completion, gained more positive affect related to statistics and an increase in their positive attitude about statistical skills, whereas they had lower scores prior to it. Notwithstanding the small sample size, these data indicate that including a peer assisted statistics camp in the academic curriculum would be beneficial for undergraduate students and increase their knowledge about research and statistics.
