研究生在他们的指导概念不同。本研究探讨了学生的人口统计学和学术特征（年龄，性别，公民身份，学科和坚持阶段）和他们的理想导师量表（IMS）评估的三种风格的指导偏好之间的关系：完整性，指导，和关系。在读博士生在中西部两所研究I型大学之一的项目（n = 537）完成了IMS，在5点的李克特类型量表上对34个导师属性中的每一个的重要性进行评级。MANCOVA产生了显着差异的人口统计学，但不是学术变量：女性得分高于男性的完整性，国际学生得分高于国内的关系，和年龄呈负相关的关系分数。在指南量表上未发现组间差异。这些研究结果表明，研究生的理想导师的看法是由主要的社会文化因素的影响，但也表明，个体差异可能发挥更大的作用。
Graduate students differ in their conceptualizations of mentoring. This study examined the relationship between students’ demographic and academic characteristics (age, gender, citizenship, academic discipline, and stage of persistence) and their preferences for three styles of mentoring assessed by the Ideal Mentor Scale (IMS): Integrity, Guidance, and Relationship. Students enrolled in Ph.D. programs at one of two Midwestern Research I Universities (n = 537) completed the IMS, rating the importance of each of 34 mentor attributes on a 5-point likert type scale. MANCOVA yielded significant differences for demographic but not academic variables: women scored higher than men on Integrity, international students scored higher than domestic on Relationship, and age was inversely related to Relationship scores. No group differences were found on the Guidance scale. These findings indicate that graduate students’ perceptions of the ideal mentor are influenced somewhat by major socio-cultural factors, but also suggest that individual differences may play a larger role.
