This chapter presents a survey of undergraduate research students and faculty mentors about (1) the coping strategies faculty are currently teaching and find effective in helping students deal with their research failures and rejections and (2) the strategies students are currently using and find effective in dealing with research failures and rejections. It describes the strategies reported by students and faculty to be highly used and most effective, as well as includes analyses that compare what students and faculty report using to what they believe are effective. Recommendations based on survey results and previous literature on how to integrate coping strategies into undergraduate research experiences are included.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
