Mexican Americans' Bilingual Ability, Counselor Bilingualism Cues, Counselor Ethnicity, and Perceived Counselor Credibility.
Ramos-Sanchez, Lucila; Atkinson, Donald R.; Fraga, Elizabeth D.
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v46 n1 p125-31 Jan 1999
Mexican-American college students (N=186) were exposed to a counselor introduction that identified her as either Mexican American or Canadian American, followed by a recorded bogus counseling session in which the counselor spoke English only or English combined with cues of Spanish-speaking ability. No effect was found on ratings of counselor language or ethnicity, but credibility and cross-cultural competence were a function of participants' bilingual ability. (Author/MKA)
