Cultural competence, identified as the ability to understand other cultures and being aware of one’s own cultural assumptions, has been found to be important for sport psychology professionals (SPPs). In the current study, one of a few exploring the SPPs’ own perceived cultural competence, a sample of 203 SPPs completed an online survey examining the perceptions of their own levels of cultural competence. Most participants reported receiving formal training in cultural competence. However, this training was perceived as only moderately effective and only able to predict the reported level of the SPPs’ perceived cultural competence in a limited way. These results could be attributed to the reported lack of support for SPPs engaging in culturally centered self-reflective practice and to the limited role that these factors have played in training programs. Additional findings are described and discussed, along with recommendations for professional development and applied training.

文化能力被确定为能够理解其他文化并了解自己的文化假设的能力，对体育心理学专业人士（SPPs）来说很重要。在当前的研究中，作为探索SPP自己的感知文化能力的少数几个研究之一，我们对203个SPP的样本进行了在线调查，以考察他们对自身文化能力水平的看法。大多数参与者报告说接受了文化能力方面的正式培训。但是，这种培训被认为仅是中等有效的，并且只能以有限的方式预测SPP所报告的感知文化能力水平。这些结果可能归因于所报告的缺乏对支持以文化为中心的自我反思实践的SPP的支持，以及这些因素在培训计划中发挥的有限作用。描述和讨论了其他发现，以及有关专业发展和应用培训的建议。
