Objective The current study examined the impact of a non-governmental organization’s academic tutoring and mentoring program on the social-emotional learning (SEL) and subjective well-being of 240 marginalized young women. Participants One-hundred-fifty-nine currently enrolled 7-12th grade students with a mean age of 16.39, SD=1.55; 40 students who were enrolled in college with a mean age of 20.25, SD=1.57, and 25 who had graduated from college with a mean age of 22.48, SD=2.16 and their leaders participated. Methods All participants completed in a survey that assessed the degree of participants’ locus of control, expectations of success (self-efficacy), current goals and career-related aspirations and their satisfaction with their relationships and life in general. Twenty-one of the participants and all leaders also were interviewed. Results Regression analyses revealed that both the participants’ self-management and the leader’s locus of control were significant predictors of the participants’ internal locus of control. Congruent with interview findings, latent structural equation analysis revealed that three manifest variables of social-emotional learning, “self-management”, “social awareness”, and “self-efficacy” had direct positive effects on participants’ subjective well-being (i.e., their satisfaction with life and relationships). Conclusion Culturally sensitive approaches to mentoring and training are needed and helpful. Future research should be carried out to mitigate design limitations and further the current study’s addition to the body of research on social-emotional learning and well-being.

RESUMENLa resiliencia es la habilidad para adaptarse a los acontecimientos adversos, superarlos y ser capaz de lograr un progreso exitoso a pesar de haber vivido esa situación traumática. Las autovaloraciones esenciales son un amplio factor de la personalidad, de orden superior, compuesto por cuatro rasgos: autoestima, autoeficacia, lugar de control interno y neuroticismo. En este trabajo nos planteamos como objetivo principal conocer si existe relación entre la resiliencia y el amplio factor de personalidad autovaloraciones esenciales; también nos planteamos averiguar si hay diferencias por sexo y por edad. Participaron en el estudio 620 estudiantes de bachillerato y universitarios (50% varones) de León y de Salamanca (España). Los instrumentos de medida fueron la Escala de Ego-Resiliencia y la Escala de Autovaloraciones Esenciales (CSES). Los resultados indican que los estudiantes con puntuaciones más elevadas en la escala de resiliencia también obtienen mejores puntuaciones en autovaloraciones esenciales. También se hallaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del sexo: los varones obtienen más altas puntuaciones en resiliencia y en autovaloraciones esenciales. Las diferencias por edad indican que los más jóvenes obtienen las más altas puntuaciones en autovaloraciones esenciales. Podemos concluir que los jóvenes más resilientes son aquellos con mayor equilibrio emocional, más sana autoestima, tienen lugar de control interno y expectativas de autoeficacia más elevadas. Y los varones jóvenes poseen estas cualidades en mayor medida que las mujeres.ABSTRACTResilience is the ability to adapt at adverse events, overcome them and be able to achieve successful progress despite having lived that harmful situation. Core self-evaluations are a broad, higher-order personality factor composed of four personality traits: self-esteem, self-efficacy, internal locus of control and neuroticism. In this paper, we aim to know if there is a relationship between resilience and the broad personality factor called core self-evaluations, we also consider whether there are differences by sex and age. Participants were 620 students and scholars (50% male) from León and Salamanca (Spain). The measures were the Ego-Resilience Scale and the Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES). The results indicate that students with higher scores on the resilience scale also score higher on core self-evaluations. We found differences statistically significant by sex: men obtained higher scores on resilience and core self-evaluations. Younger students take the highest scores on core self-evaluations. We can concluded that the most resilient young people are those with greater emotional stability, healthier self-esteem, have internal locus of control and higher self-efficacy. In addition, young men have these qualities largely than women.

Personality distinctions between entrepreneurs, nonfounder CEOs/leaders, and inventor employees have received limited attention, especially in innovative settings where they are working together. We surveyed these groups, along with other employees of innovative firms, at 4 locations of a prominent innovation and coworking center. Entrepreneurs display the greatest tolerance of risk, even in small gambles, as well as the strongest self-efficacy, internal locus of control, and need for achievement. Nonfounder CEOs/leaders typically sit in between entrepreneurs and employees for personality traits. Entrepreneurs, nonfounder CEOs/leaders, and inventor employees all show more innovative personalities than the noninventor employees in the same companies.
