Abstract
This dissertation examined the relationship between multicultural supervision and the development of multicultural counseling competence. This study also examined how this relationship may differ based on supervisees' ethnicity and level of reflectivity. To further explore other variables that may impact this relationship, level of training and length of supervision were also included in statistical analyses. An online survey was conducted using a demographic questionnaire, The Self-Reflection Scale (SReS), the Multicultural Awareness, Knowledge, and Skills Survey—Counselor Edition—Revised (MAKSS-CE-R), and the Multicultural Supervision Inventory-B (MSI-B). The sample consisted of 324 supervisee participants from counseling and clinical psychology doctoral programs, including practicum students, predoctoral interns, and postdoctoral trainees. One-way between subjects ANOVAs, multiple regression analyses, and a mediation analysis were conducted. Most of the hypotheses this dissertation explored were not supported. There were some minor significant findings indicating that ethnicity impacted supervisees' perceptions of their supervisor's multicultural counseling competence, level of reflectivity impacted supervisee's perceptions of their own multicultural counseling competence, and higher levels of supervisee reflectivity predicted supervisee multicultural counseling competence.
