This model can be implemented through various types of mentoring mechanisms. Theeffectiveness of the mentoring plan depends on the trust relationship and the motivation of thementee to willingly engage in the growth opportunities created by the mentor. Implementing RMM as a functional mentoring process involves creating a healthymentoring relationships shown to be critical in preparing graduate students for careers [33].Functional mentoring results in both the success and satisfaction of mentees in

When reporting our findingsfor this paper, we could hardly find any evidence from the already small number of papersselected to respond to this research question.

We did not initially plan to explain why individuals resist advocacy efforts, yet ourongoing research into self-efficacy and self-advocacy around HC messages in engineeringpositioned us to examine individuals’ resistance to advocacy. Our previous HC research hasfocused on women [9], undergraduate and graduate students [7], and faculty members [17] inengineering who utilize their self-efficacy to understand and cope with negative HC messages.Since this past research focused on individuals’ strategies, we have not considered theexperiences of individuals who are resistant to self-advocacy, or advocacy for others
