Abstract

Abstract : The purpose of this investigation was to replicate findings from Holcomb‐McCoy and Myers's (1999 ) study, which assessed the multicultural competence of professional counselors. Factor analysis was conducted to determine the components of multicultural competence ( N = 171). Differences existed between multicultural competence and race/ethnicity, F (2, 168) = 4.86, p = .009, Wilks's Λ = .95, partial η 2 = .06, and education level, F (2, 167) = 8.95, p < .001, Wilks's Λ = .82, partial η 2 = .10.
