“…Last but not least, although some studies suggest that multicultural courses increase counselor multicultural competence (Holcomb-McCoy & Myers, 1999;Robles-Piña & McPherson, 2001;Sodowsky et al, 1998), the present results showed otherwise. This finding is consistent with the findings from previous research (Holcomb-McCoy, 2001), as both findings did not support the relationship between completion of multicultural courses and counselors' perceived multicultural competence.…”

This study investigated the nature and extent of perceived multicultural counseling competence (MCC) of 508 professional counselors in Malaysia using a national survey approach. Differences in counselors' perceived MCC pertaining to gender, ethnicity, highest education, and multicultural training were examined. Results revealed 5 factors as constituents of MCC and significant differences in perceived MCCs due to ethnicity, highest education, and participation in multicultural training. Implications for future research, counselor education, and counseling practice are discussed. Este estudio investigó la naturaleza y la extensión de la competencia en consejería multicultural (MCC, por sus siglas en inglés) percibida de 508 consejeros profesionales en Malasia usando un enfoque de encuesta nacional. Se examinaron las diferencias en la MCC percibida de los consejeros respecto a sexo, etnicidad, nivel máximo de educación y capacitación multicultural. Los resultados revelaron 5 factores constituyentes de MCC y diferencias significativas en las MCC debido a etnicidad, nivel máximo de educación y participación en capacitación multicultural. Se discuten las implicaciones para investigaciones futuras, educación de consejeros y práctica de la consejería.

“…To study the effect of academic qualification on MCC, the participants were divided according to their higher education into two groups, namely, bachelor's degree or lower (group one) and higher than bachelor's degree (group two). Based on the related literature (e.g., Aga Mohd Jaladin, 2011; Robles‐Piña & McPherson, 2002), it was predicted that participants with higher than bachelor's degree levels would have higher levels of MCC. Consistent with this prediction, the results of MANOVA indicated a significant main effect for academic qualification (Wilks Lambda = 0.963 , F (5, 502) = 3.897, partial eta = 0.043, p < 0.05), suggesting that participants at different academic qualifications differed on a linear combination of the five subscales of MCC.…”

This study describes the development and validation of a 32‐item instrument to assess the multicultural counseling competencies of 508 Malaysian professional counselors. Exploratory factor analysis identified five underlying factors of multicultural counseling competency (MCC), and this five‐factor model of MCC, confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis, has more than the three dimensions proposed in the literature. These findings provide strong evidence for construct validity and encourage the use of this instrument among counselors.

The American Psychological Association and many other professional mental health organizations require graduate programs to provide education in multicultural issues. However, the effectiveness of multicultural education has been debated in the literature over the past several years. The overall purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of multicultural education using meta-analytic methodologies. Findings revealed that multicultural education interventions were typically associated with positive outcomes across a wide variety of participant and study characteristics. Multicultural education interventions that were explicitly based on theory and research yielded outcomes nearly twice as beneficial as those that were not. Priorities for future inquiry are enumerated, and increased institutional support for multicultural education initiatives is solicited.
