Research suggests that youth with more financial and social resources are more likely to have access to mentorship. Conversely, the rising star hypothesis posits that youth who show promise through their individual successes are more likely to be mentored. Utilizing a nationally representative sample (N = 4,882), we tested whether demographic characteristics (e.g., race, SES) or personal resources (e.g., academic/social success) are better predictors of receiving mentorship. Regression analyses suggested that demographic, contextual, and individual characteristics all significantly predicted access to mentorship, specifically by non-familial mentors. However, conditional inference tree models that explored the interaction of mentorship predictors by race showed that individual characteristics mattered less for Black and Latino/a youth. Therefore, the rising star hypothesis may hold true for White youth, but the story of mentoring is more complicated for youth of color. Findings highlight the implications of Critical Race Theory for mentoring research and practice.

冉冉升起的新星和弱者:种族和父母教育在预测导师制中的作用

研究表明,拥有更多财务和社会资源的年轻人更有可能获得指导。相反,后起之秀的假设认为,通过个人的成功表现出希望的年轻人更有可能受到指导。使用具有国家代表性的样本(N = 4,882),我们测试了人口特征(例如种族,SES)或个人资源(例如学术/社会成就)是否是接受指导的更好的预测指标。回归分析表明,人口,背景和个人特征均显着预测了获得指导的机会,特别是非家庭指导者。但是,条件推理树模型通过种族探索了指导指导者之间的相互作用,结果表明,黑人和拉丁裔/一个年轻人的个体特征影响较小。因此,后起之秀假说对于白人青年可能成立,但对于有色人种青年来说,指导的故事则更为复杂。研究结果突出了“临界种族理论”对指导研究和实践的意义。
