aPairwise intercorrelations for trainees (N = 482–490) are presented below the diagonal, and intercorrelations for mentors (N = 182–309) are presented above the diagonal. Due to a survey error, several mentors were not presented with the research experience question. Responses for ERLA subscale could range from 1 (no gain) to 5 (great gain). Reponses to research experience and relationship quality could range from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). All correlations were statistically significant, p < 0.001.
