Inhalt: "Using a survey of women science majors, we tested the assumption that women mentors and other women guides help women students pursue the sciences. The survey explicitly distinguished among three types of guides: mentors (who provide psychosocial support), sponsors (who provide instrumental support), and role models (who act as examples) encountered before and during college. We found that over 90% of the women had a guide of one type or another, that mentors were most influential to women's pursuit of science, and that guides during college were more influential than guides prior to college. Participants reported having more female than male guides overall, but that some of the most influential guides were men." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "The authors examined the benefits of mentoring for female and male engineering students and whether the benefits of mentoring differ depending on the sex of the mentor. Kram's framework of career development, psychosocial, and role-modeling functions was used to examine the benefits of mentoring for 1,069 engineering students. It was found that students with mentors were more socially integrated into their academic programs than students without mentors and that male mentors were more effective in this function than female mentors. Few students reported psychosocial benefits from being mentored, although female proteges reported more if they had female mentors. An unexpected finding for the role-modeling benefits was that mentored students reported less commitment to engineering careers than students without mentors. The authors close with a discussion of the implications of these findings and suggestions for future research in this area." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: Die Autorin stellt Erfahrungen aus dem Projekt "Evaluation der Mentoringprojekte für Frauen an niedersächsischen Hochschulen" dar. Sie beschreibt Ziele des Mentoring, die Akzeptanz an den Hochschulen, Impulse für die Frauenförderung an Hochschulen, Defizite und Veränderungspotenziale in der Durchführung solcher Projekte. Es zeigte sich, dass es zwei bevorzugte Anwendungsfelder des Mentoring an Hochschulen gibt: 1. als Instrument zur Qualifizierung des weiblichen wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses (Doktorandinnen, Habilitandinnen) und 2. als Orientierungshilfe bei der Studienwahl und dem Übergang in den Beruf (Schülerinnen, Studentinnen, Absolventinnen).
