Negative mentoring experiences in undergraduate life science research. Undergraduate life science researchers experienced negative mentoring in seven main ways. They perceived some of these as absence of positive mentoring experiences, such as lack of career and psychosocial support and interpersonal mismatch (left), and others as actively harmful mentoring experiences, such as abuse of power and unequal treatment (right). Undergraduates experienced absenteeism and misaligned expectations (middle) as either absence of positive or actively harmful depending on the severity of the situation.
