The Youth Mentoring Survey (YMS) is the most comprehensive measure of match relationship quality

(MRQ) available with published validity evidence.

The YMS was designed to complement the

mentor-completed Match Characteristics

Questionnaire (MCQ), and strong correlations

between the two measures have been obtained.


The YMS measures relational and instrumental (growth-focused) Match Relationship Quality (MRQ)

The first section (25 items) measures relational

quality, instrumental quality, and prescription.

The second section (22 items) assesses how much match time is devoted to activities focused on fun, sharing/relating, and learning/growing.

happy, close, satisfied with relationship : 79.81% Instrumental scale - the degree to which the youth perceives

growth benefits from the match: 81.82% Prescriptive – mentee does not feel that the mentor is too

prescriptive: 57.20%

fun: 57.80% Sharing - how much activities focus on talking and sharing
