Children growing up in communities with lower income or lower social status are prone to experience academic or self-perception complications. Building psychological resilience helps to offset the effects of their environment during critical times in their development. Researchers have looked at the relationship between resilience and social support. This study will evaluate methods of promoting psychological resilience and its effects on academic performance. The study will use a between subjects model where participants are assigned to one of two conditions. Each participant will either be assigned to having the combination of a mentor and tutor or solely a tutor. Academic performance and progress will be evaluated with a recognition test

Studies show that from an early age, social support influences development of a child’s self-perception and academic performance (Ai & Hu, 2016; Israelashvili & Wegaman-Rozi, 2003). Typically, children raised in lower social classes or lower income communities are more prone to experience issues with self-perception or academic performance (Chesmore, Watson &Brady, 2016; Horning & Rouse, 2002). Promoting psychological resilience by increasing social support can help to counterbalance the effects of their environment (Israelashvili et al. 2003). Research has shown that in certain cultures preschool- aged children who are at risk because of their environment benefit greatly from having extra social support (Israelashvili et al. 2003; Ai et al. …show more content…
Research shows that psychological resilience helps to act as a barrier to internal influences (Ai et al, 2016, Putwain, Nicholson, Connor, & Woods 2013,). Other research has shown that adding social support increases psychological resilience (Israelashvili et al. 2003). Although previous research has looked at the relationship between social support and psychological resilience, there are a limited number of methods researched in how to promote them (Israelashvili et al. 2003). These resilience skills have been shown as necessary as they create lasting. Children who have built these skills have been shown to perform better on test by the end of primary school
