Abstract

The measurement properties of two new scales designed to measure global and engagement mentoring relationship quality (Global Mentoring Relationship Quality Scale and Quality of Mentoring Relationship Engagement Scale) were examined among 272 mentors, 491 children, and 554 parents participating in Big Brothers Big Sisters community mentoring programs across Canada. Results demonstrated their unidimensionality, moderate convergent validity, good external validity, and weak-to-moderate reporter concordance. Longitudinal analyses demonstrated good predictive validity of mentor and parent mentoring relationship quality scales with respect to predicting mentoring relationship status.

  • The Global Mentoring Relationship Quality Scale (G-MeRQS) and the Quality of Mentoring Relationship Engagement Scale (Q-MRES) were designed to assess engagement attributes; G-MeRQS uses five items for trust, warmth, happiness, and respect, and Q-MRES uses 22 mentee and 13 mentor items for action-oriented supportive interactions.

    “Several scales have been designed to assess the engagement attributes of the relationship beyond trust and support. These include the Global Mentoring Relationship Quality Scale (G-MeRQS) and the Quality of Mentoring Relationship Engagement Scale (Q-MRES) [40]. The G-MeRQS is designed to assess mentees’ general feelings of trust, warmth, happiness, and respect, using five items. The Q-MRES seeks”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
