This study aimed to explore the potential association of mindfulness, cognitive flexibility, and cognitive complexity with multicultural counseling competency (MCC), while controlling for race and mindfulness practice, among counseling trainees. Seventy-eight graduate-level counseling students from multiple campuses within the U.S. completed an online survey study. Results indicated significant positive correlations among mindfulness, cognitive flexibility, cognitive complexity and MCC. Results also found significant differences in self-perceived ratings of MCC based on race and engagement in mindful practice. Additionally, cognitive flexibility, cognitive complexity and mindfulness practices explained a large amount of adjusted variance (r 2 = .52) in MCC. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

通过正念、认知复杂性和认知灵活性对研究生级咨询学生多元文化咨询能力发展的调查

本研究旨在探讨正念、认知灵活性和认知复杂性与多元文化咨询能力 (MCC) 的潜在关联，同时控制咨询受训者的种族和正念练习。来自美国多个校区的 78 名研究生级别的咨询学生完成了一项在线调查研究。结果表明，正念、认知灵活性、认知复杂性和 MCC 之间存在显着的正相关。结果还发现，基于种族和专注练习的参与度，MCC 的自我感知评级存在显着差异。此外，认知灵活性、认知复杂性和正念练习解释了 MCC 中的大量调整方差 (r 2 = .52)。讨论了对研究和实践的影响。
