Although it has been shown that mentorship is predictive of more effective teaching and adherence to model teaching criteria for Early Career Psychologists (ECPs) (Troisi, Leder-Elder, Stiegler-Balfour, Fleck, Good, in press), little research has examined the differential utility of various types of mentors among university faculty members. We conducted a national survey comparing three types of mentors (i.e., intra-departmental, intra-university, other self-selected mentor) among 122 ECPs. Overall, mentors from one's department and other self-selected mentors were more effective than mentors from another department at one's university. Implications for mentoring early career faculty in higher education are discussed.
