This study found that self-report multicultural scales do not fully support the 3-factor model of counseling competence. Instead, a 2-factor structure of skills and attitudes/beliefs was identified, impacting clinical practice and training.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Counseling Research
  • Multicultural Studies

Background:

  • Multicultural counseling competence is often conceptualized as comprising attitudes/beliefs, knowledge, and skills.
  • Existing self-report scales are used to measure this competence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine if 3 self-report multicultural scales align with the 3-factor model of multicultural counseling competence.
  • To identify the underlying factor structure of these scales.

Main Methods:

  • Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the 3-factor model.
  • Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to determine an alternative factor structure.

Main Results:

  • The CFA did not fully support the hypothesized 3-factor model (attitudes/beliefs, knowledge, skills).

Related Experiment Videos

  • The EFA revealed a 2-factor structure: self-perceived multicultural counseling skills and multicultural counseling attitudes/beliefs.
  • Conclusions:

    • Current self-report measures may not accurately capture the tripartite model of multicultural competence.
    • Findings suggest a revised understanding of multicultural competence measurement, impacting clinical practice, training, and future research.
