This finding raises issues involving scholarship and the relative importance of historical and contemporary information. Further comparisons with textbooks in other subject areas or produced f...

Contrary to expectations, men and women employ similar decision criteria in the decision to seek a mentor. The primary driver for seeking a mentor was to obtain psychosocial support, including personal support, acceptance, having a confidant, being trusted and friendship.
