很少有研究经验性地调查本科生研究人员(被辅导者)与他们的生物和生命科学导师之间的指导关系中的特定因素，这些因素可以解释被辅导者在学业和职业生涯中取得的积极成果。使用从中西部一所大型研究型大学的几个本科生生物学研究项目中收集的多年(2005-11)期间400多名导师的档案评估数据，我们验证了现有的导师研究经验和导师-学员关系的评估措施。我们使用来自被辅导者(77%代表不足的种族/少数族裔)的数据子集来检验一个假设的社会认知职业生涯模型，该模型描述了被辅导者的学业成绩与他们对研究指导关系的看法之间的关联。路径分析的结果表明，知觉导师效能感通过研究自我效能感间接预测毕业后的结果。讨论的结果对开发新的和改进现有工具以衡量这一影响、方案干预以增加文化多样性研究指导对象的成功以及未来研究方向的影响进行了讨论。
Few studies have empirically investigated the specific factors in mentoring relationships between undergraduate researchers (mentees) and their mentors in the biological and life sciences that account for mentees’ positive academic and career outcomes. Using archival evaluation data from more than 400 mentees gathered over a multi-year period (2005–11) from several undergraduate biology research programs at a large, Midwestern research university, we validated existing evaluation measures of the mentored research experience and the mentor-mentee relationship. We used a subset of data from mentees (77% underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities) to test a hypothesized social cognitive career theory model of associations between mentees’ academic outcomes and perceptions of their research mentoring relationships. Results from path analysis indicate that perceived mentor effectiveness indirectly predicted post-baccalaureate outcomes via research self-efficacy beliefs. Findings are discussed with implications for developing new and refining existing tools to measure this impact, programmatic interventions to increase the success of culturally diverse research mentees and future directions for research.
