这项研究调查了科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）专业的学生在多大程度上报告说他们有自己种族和性别的导师，以及他们在多大程度上接受了种族和性别匹配很重要的观点。该研究还记录了种族和性别匹配对三个学术成果的影响，即自我报告的平均绩点、效率和信心，这些数据来自1013名积极参与MentorNet在线社区的本科生、研究生和博士后学者。分析表明，许多学生，尤其是女性和有色人种学生，认为有一位与自己性别或种族相同的导师很重要。有自己性别或种族导师的学生得到了更多的帮助，但种族或性别的匹配对学业成绩没有影响。主要研究结果对STEM领域未来研究和指导的影响进行了讨论。
This study examined the extent to which science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) students reported having had mentors of their own race and gender and the extent to which they have adopted the idea that matching by race and gender matters. The study also documented the effects of race and gender matching on three academic outcomes, self-reported grade point average, efficacy, and confidence, based on data collected from 1,013 undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral scholars actively participating in MentorNet's online community. Analyses indicated that having a mentor of one's own gender or race was felt to be important by many students, especially women and students of Color. Students who had a mentor of their own gender or race reported receiving more help, but matching by race or gender did not affect academic outcomes. Key findings are discussed in terms of implications for future research and mentoring in the STEM fields.
