“…In a survey of American Counseling Association (ACA) members, most reported feeling that their level of multicultural training was insufficient (Holcomb-McCoy & Myers, 1999). Holcomb-McCoy and Myers concluded that the current training methods were producing competence in the cognitive domain only, while experiential and emotional domains remained unaffected.…”

): fixed goal and process. Noting that the process has been underemphasized, they introduce active racial/cultural awareness as an operationalization of this perspective. Current training approaches are critiqued from this process perspective, and critical incident analysis is discussed as a tool for increasing active racial/cultural awareness. A sample analysis and suggestions for implementation are provided.

REPORT DATE Introduction PurposeThis task, the first of five tasks in a project to support Cultural Readiness for the Department of Defense, represents the first step in the development of a -paper and pencil‖ questionnaire measure of cultural competency. The purpose of this task was to identify measures that are reliable and valid for the measurement of cultural competency. Thus, our approach was to identify existing measures in published peer-reviewed literature in order to understand the available instruments, the dimensions and constructs they measure, the purposes and previous uses of these metrics, and their reported psychometric properties. This document provides an overview of the project as a context for this task, provides the findings of this task, and discusses next steps in the project. Project OverviewThis initial project supports the assessment of capabilities and requirements leading to the development of a common framework in order to -set the stage‖ for input to policy, as well as for research and training efforts by the emerging Department of Defense Cultural Center of Excellence. Thus, the overall purpose of this project is to develop a framework of cultural competence and its related measures. In addition, we believe that the existing measures may leave something to be desired in terms of the constructs assessed as well as the relevance of existing measures for the purposes of the current assessment requirements.In addition to literature review, in order to conceptualize the overall construct of interest (i.e., cultural competency), some basic issues must be addressed. These include coming up with a precise definition of what exactly is being measured, how it will be measured, the format of the questionnaire, benefits to such measurement, and the meanings of the scores derived, among others. First and foremost in this process, the conceptual criteria should be carefully identified to include all of the important dimensions of performance.This will involve not only theoretically-based hypotheses of important constructs that make up a measure of cultural competency, but also detailed explications of what performance success looks like that can be tied to all of the important and rele...

“…Holcomb-McCoy (2005), states that "Many variables concerning the multicultural counseling competence of professional counselors have been debated and discussed throughout the recent history of the counseling profession" (p. 414). Additionally, Holcomb-McCoy & Myers (1999) found counselors who addressed multicultural counseling in their training programs had greater cultural competency than those who had not.…”
