Differences of mentorship quality from the mentees’ point of view categorized by matching method (no mentoring speed dating (no MSD) vs. mentoring speed dating (MSD)).
Fig 1.
Mean responses of mentees to items on mentorship quality.
All items were rated on a 1–6 scale ranging from “disagree strongly” (= 1) to “agree strongly” (= 6). Means and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of the six items are given for gender and matching method. MSD = mentoring speed dating; no MSD = no mentoring speed dating.
