Multicultural Training in Relation to Supervisor's Perceived Multicultural Competency: An Examination of White Supervisor-White Supervisee Dyads

Abstract Details

2011, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Akron, Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy.

Within the field of counseling the majority of supervisors and supervisees are White (Constantine et al., 2005; Inman et al, 2004). Research has indicated that ethnic clients’ perception of satisfaction with counseling services is significantly influenced by the clinicians’ level of multicultural competency (Constantine, 2002; Frank, 2004).

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between multicultural training and supervisors' perceived multicultural competency within White supervisor-White supervisee supervision dyads as well as supervisees’ ratings of supervisors’ perceived cross cultural competency. This study utilized the ACA Multicultural Counseling Competency (Sue et al., 2006) as a framework for this research and the instrument used in this study. This research utilized simple linear regression to analyze 40 supervisor and supervisee dyads. Findings included significance in that supervisees’ ratings of supervisors predicted awareness and knowledge for cross cultural competency independent of social desirability. Finally, conclusions, implications of the findings, and suggestions for future research were discussed.
