This study investigated the self-reported multicultural competence of school counselors employed within an urban, socioeconomically blended public school district in the Southern United States (U.S.). Participants completed two instruments: a demographic questionnaire and the Multicultural Counseling Competence and Training Survey-Revised (MCCTS-R; Holcomb-McCoy and Myers 1999). Results revealed that four of ten demographic variables demonstrated significance in relation to self-reported multicultural competence. Future research recommendations include, studying a larger population, incorporating qualitative elements, considering racial identity development in relation to self-reported multicultural competence, and comparing MCCTS-R self-report scores with independent observer ratings of demonstrated multicultural competencies in response to case vignettes or video recorded student-school counselor situations (e.g., individual or group counseling).

多元文化能力：探索全球化、特定人口统计和学校辅导员的自我认知之间的联系

本研究调查了在美国南部 (US) 的城市、社会经济融合的公立学区中雇用的学校辅导员的自我报告的多元文化能力。参与者完成了两种工具：人口调查问卷和多元文化咨询能力和培训调查（MCCTS-R；Holcomb-McCoy 和 Myers 1999）。结果显示，十个人口统计学变量中有四个显示出与自我报告的多元文化能力相关的显着性。未来的研究建议包括，研究更大的人口，纳入定性因素，考虑与自我报告的多元文化能力相关的种族认同发展，
