Summary The purpose of the current study was to determine if mindfulness predicted successful mentoring relationships. More specifically, this study examined whether trait mindfulness predicted effective mentoring, satisfying mentoring, receipt of mentoring functions, and dysfunctional mentoring experiences after controlling for positive and negative affect. Results show that mindfulness predicted receipt of psychosocial mentoring functions and less dysfunctional mentoring experiences. However, mindfulness did not predict effective mentoring, satisfying mentoring, and career-related mentoring functions. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed along with limitations and suggestions for future research.
