Examining Perceived Multicultural Counseling Competence and Negative Attitudes toward the Arab American Population
Basma, Dareen; Gibbons, Melinda M.; Kronick, Robert F.
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v48 n1 p2-14 Jan 2020
The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the relationship between professional counselors' general multicultural competence and negative attitudes held toward Arab Americans. Participants (N = 124) completed a survey, and a series of correlational, stepwise, and multiple regression analyses was conducted. Results indicated that counselors displayed higher levels of multicultural awareness than of multicultural knowledge. Furthermore, general multicultural awareness and specific knowledge of Arabs related significantly to negative attitudes held toward Arabs.
