Abstract
This study explores the impact of peer mentoring programs on undergraduate students' mental well-being and academic outcomes. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from undergraduate students (N=25) and analyzed through ANOVA and regression analysis using JAMOVI. Key variables included positive and negative affect, stress, autonomy, coping strategies, resilience, and academic confidence. The reliability of the scale was strong (Cronbach's α = 0.866). Regression analysis showed that coping strategies significantly predicted academic confidence (β = 0.753, p = 0.028), while peer mentoring had a modest, non-significant effect (β = -0.390, p = 0.191). Factor analysis indicated high loadings for variables like negative affect (0.926) and relationship satisfaction (0.856). The findings suggest that while peer mentoring may not directly predict all outcomes, it contributes positively to emotional and academic resilience. Institutions should consider structured peer mentoring as a viable tool to enhance students' psychological and academic adjustment.
