Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Akron, Counselor Education and Supervision.
There have been strong calls in the profession for school counselors to engage in social justice advocacy. According to the American School Counseling Association, a social justice perspective is now at the center of good counseling practice. Although there is an abundance of conceptual literature pointing to the need for school counselors to act as social justice advocates, little is known through empirical research about the personal characteristics of these school counselors. The present study used a non-experimental correlational research design to determine the extent of the relationship between White racial identity development, multicultural competence and social justice advocacy competence among 171 White licensed and certified school counselors. Results of four hierarchical stepwise multiple regression analyses revealed that higher levels of self-reported White racial identity development statistically significantly predicted social justice advocacy competence. Results also revealed that knowledge of multicultural counseling statistically significantly predicted social justice advocacy competence in three out of the four subscales of advocacy investigated. Also discussed are the results compared to related research and theory, implications of results applied to counselor education/supervision and school counseling, limitations of the study and recommendations for future research.
