目的
本文的目的是研究一个长期的指导关系之间的白色女性从传统的一代和非洲裔美国男性从新生代，从事在美国高等教育机构的指导关系。研究调查了他们之间的差异和相似之处是否、如何以及在多大程度上影响了他们的指导关系。
设计/方法/方式
作者使用了一种自我民族志的方法，包括广泛的提问，对话，记录和分析超过八个月。
结果
分析表明，种族对这种关系的影响最大。辅导成功的主要原因是家庭背景和共同持有的价值观相似。
研究限制/影响
这项研究可能无法推广到不涉及种族，年龄或性别文化差异的指导关系。
实际影响
该文件提供了一个模型的类型的策略，个人可以使用跨种族的指导努力，以帮助建立和维持这些关系。它还包括对参与指导关系的个人的建议，其中包括性别，种族或年龄差异，以及寻求加强机构内多样性的组织。
独创性/价值
目前还没有关于个人跨种族、性别和代际指导的广泛研究来分析相关人员的经历。此外，为研究跨种族指导关系而提出的模型是独特的。
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine a long-term mentoring relationship between a White female from the Traditional Generation and an African American male from the Xennial Generation, as engaged in a mentoring relationship within higher education institutions in the USA. The study investigated if, how and to what degree the differences and similarities between them influenced their mentoring relationship.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors used an autoethnographic approach involving extensive questioning, dialoguing, note keeping and analysis over eight months.
Findings
The analysis suggested that race had the greatest influence on the relationship. The primary reasons for mentoring success were similarities in family backgrounds and commonly held values.
Research limitations/implications
This study may not be generalizable to mentoring relationships that do not involve cultural differences in race, age or gender.
Practical implications
The paper offers a model for the types of strategies individuals can use in cross-racial mentoring endeavors to help build and sustain these relationships. It also includes suggestions for individuals engaged in mentoring relationships, which include gender, race or age differences, and organizations seeking to enhance diversity within their institutions.
Originality/value
There is not an extensive body of research on individual cross-racial, gender and generational mentoring that provides an analysis of the experience of those involved. Additionally, the model presented for examining cross-racial mentoring relationships is unique.
