Description
Research on the effects of mission trips on social awareness, attitudes, and behaviors towards social justice has been limited. In the current study, we examined whether volunteers going on a weeklong art camp in Guatemala with a non-profit, Athentikos, would show positive changes in their social justice attitudes and behaviors. Current trip participants (n=6) completed questionnaires before and immediately following their trip, whereas trip alumni (n=10) completed questionnaires regarding one previous trip. We hypothesized that participants will report an increase in social awareness as well as feelings about and plans for social action immediately following the trip. On average, all variables showed some increase from pre-trip to post-trip with confidence increasing significantly and interest in social justice related activities, evaluation of social justice obstacles and support, and empathic awareness showing trends towards statistically significant increase. Overall, trip attendees showed correlations within a number of positive social justice attitudes and behaviors.
