Abstract

Abstract

Supervisors assist counselors-in-training in becoming multiculturally competent counselors. Researchers examined the relationship between supervisors’ (N = 167) racial/ethnic identity development status and their ability to recognize racial/ethnic microaggressions within supervision. Results indicated significant interaction between gender, multicultural supervision skills, and ethnic identity. Furthermore, results found significant relationship between ethnic identity development and ability to recognize racial microaggressions, but not in identifying type of microaggressions. Data analysis revealed improvement from previous research in counselor educator competence and comfort in addressing multicultural issues.
