Specifically, ten college students who mentor shared stories illustrating the link they perceived between mentoring and generativity. A cross-case analysis was utilized to explore the data and connect the developmental/environmental factors of leader identity (i.e. motivations to mentor) with generative themes (i.e. how participants mentored or were mentored). The cross-case analysis resulted in three overarching mentoring styles: Guide, Relator, and Friend. Findings from the current study have implications for leadership educators, mentoring programs, and college student development scholars.Pages 454-478application/pdfenIn CopyrightArticle - Refereed2022-12-16https://doi.org/10.1080/13611267.2022.2096805304Sunderman, Hannah [0000-0001-8156-6206]1469-9745
