Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The purpose of this study was therefore an in-depth exploration of relationship processes in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Africa programme, attempting to link these with some of the qualities identified by previous research as associated with strong relationships or positive outcomes. The sample for the study consisted of the mentors and mentees in eight relationships, established approximately a year before the research was conducted.
