Development and Validation of the Mentoring in Undergraduate Research Survey
Here we present the development and initial validation of the Mentoring in Undergraduate Research
20 Survey (MURS) as a measure of a range of mentoring experienced by undergraduate science researchers.
21 We drafted items based on qualitative research and refined the items through cognitive interviews and
22 expert sorting. We used national dataset to evaluate the internal structure of the measure and a second
23 national dataset to examine how responses on the MURS related to theoretically-relevant constructs and
24 student characteristics. Our factor analytic results indicate seven lower order forms of mentoring
25 experiences: abusive supervision, accessibility, career and technical support, psychosocial support,
26 interpersonal mismatch, sexual harassment, and unfair treatment. These forms of mentoring mapped onto
27 two higher-order factors: supportive and destructive mentoring experiences. Although most
28 undergraduates reported experiencing supportive mentoring, some reported experiencing absence of
29 supportive as well as destructive experiences. Undergraduates who experienced less supportive and more
30 destructive mentoring also experienced lower scientific integration and a dampening of their beliefs about
31 the value of research. The MURS should be useful for investigating the effects of mentoring experienced
32 by undergraduate researchers and for testing interventions aimed at fostering supportive experiences and
33 reducing or preventing destructive experiences and their impacts.
