The current article proposes a bootstrap- F method and a bootstrap- T2 method for use in a one-way repeated measure ANOVA design. Using a Monte Carlo approach in which sample size, nonsphericity, and nonnormality are systematically manipulated, the Type I error rate of the two bootstrap methods are compared to that of the traditional F test, the Geisser-Greenhouse adjusted F test, the Box adjusted F test, the Huynh-Feldt adjusted F test, the β-trimmed mean method using β =.1and β = .2, and the one-sample multivariate T2 test. Results show the bootstrap- F method controls Type I error better than all other methods considered when normality and sphericity assumptions are violated simultaneously.

This article describes the development and initial validation of the Multicultural Environmental Inventory (MEI). The MEI is an instrument designed to measure an individual's perceptions about the degree to which graduate counseling programs address multicultural issues within curriculum, supervision, climate, and research. This investigation was conducted using the data from 208 students and faculty from counseling psychology graduate programs across the United States approved by the American Psychological Association. By using techniques of exploratory factor analysis, a 4-factor solution was determined to account for the relationships among the items on the MEI. The instrument was modified from 53 to 27 items on the basis of the items' effectiveness in measuring the underlying constructs of interest, and internal consistency information is provided on the final revised instrument (MEI-R). The factors underlying the MEI-R are discussed within the context of a multicultural environment in graduate counseling programs, and directions for future research are considered.

This study examined the theoretical and measurement issues involved in the current study of Asian American ethnic identity development and acculturation. Specifically, an attempt was made to investigate the influence of acculturation in predicting prejudicial social attitudes. A total of 289 college students from 2 universities were given the Asian and Anglo Acculturation Scale, the Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale, and the Quick Discrimination Index. Results suggest that students who were more acculturated and who were Asian identified tended to have less prejudicial attitudes. Results also suggested that Asian American women tended to have less prejudicial attitudes than did Asian American men. Implications for counseling are discussed. * acculturation * prejudice • social attitude Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing racial groups in the United States. The generic "Asian" racial classification, which actually constitutes 29 distinct ethnic groups, often masks important ethnic group differences in language, religion, values, and immigration history (Atkinson, Morten, & Sue, 1993). For many of the Asian American ethnic groups, immigration prior to passage of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 had been severely restricted but has since been the most salient way in which
