Adaptation of the mentor mindsets scale: validation, psychometric properties, and practical application.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to adapt the Mentor Mindset Scale into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties. The scale assesses mentors' orientations toward youth as Enforcer and Protector, conceptualizing Mentor Mindset as a pattern defined by these two dimensions. Methods: The sample comprised 316 adults (210 women, 106 men). To further examine construct distinctiveness, the Implicit Theories of Intelligence Scale was employed to test concurrent validity across fixed and growth mindset dimensions. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported the proposed two-factor structure, with strong comparative fit indices (CFI = 0.976, TLI = 0.955) and acceptable SRMR (0.071), although RMSEA was elevated (0.114, 90% CI [0.081, 0.150]). Factor loadings were significant, and the two dimensions were strongly correlated ( Discussion: These findings demonstrate that the Turkish Mentor Mindset Scale is a reliable and valid measure that captures theoretically coherent constructs distinct from general mindset beliefs. The scale provides a practical tool for assessing mentor orientations and can inform the design of targeted mentoring interventions to promote adaptive mentoring behaviors in educational and developmental contexts.
