Development and factor structure of the Cross-Cultural Counseling Inventory—Revised.

Abstract

This article presents the development and preliminary validation of the Cross-Cultural Counseling Inventory (CCCI), a measure based on the American Psychological Association Division 17 Educa-) tion and Training Committee's tridimensional characteristics of cross-cultural counseling competence-beliefs/attitudes, knowledge, and skills (Sue et al, 1982). Three studies investigated the instrument's content validity, interrater reliability, and factor structure. The first study established substantial agreement among judges when classifying items according to the tridimensional characteristics. In the second study, judges reached adequate levels of interrater reliability after viewing cross-cultural counseling vignettes. The third study found a 3-factor orthogonal solution of crosscultural counseling skill, sociopolitical awareness, and cultural sensitivity. The authors discuss the utility of the instrument in counseling supervision and research.

Development and initial validation of the Multicultural Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale--Racial Diversity Form.

“…In the past decade, several instruments, such as the Cross-Cultural Counseling InventoryRevised (CCCI-R; LaFormboise, Coleman, & Hernandez, 1991), the Multicultural Counseling Inventory (MCI; Sodowsky, Taffe, Gutkin, & Wise, 1994) In reviewing multiculturalism as a new paradigm in counseling theory, Essandoh (1996) contended that progress has been made only in theory and research. Ponterotto (1998) described the body of multicultural counseling research as still in its infancy because of the many conceptual and psychometric limitations of instruments available to measure relevant constructs.…”

Behavioral Indices in Medical Care Outcome: The Working Alliance, Adherence, and Related Factors

One School, Many Differences: An Assessment Tool for School Counselors and Multicultural Counseling

“…Currently, there is only one recognized assessment specifically designed for school counselors based on AMCD standards (Holcomb-McCoy, 2001), and there are no assessments integrating ASCA standards. Holcomb-McCoy and Day-Vines (2004) Sodowsky, Taffe, Gutkin, & Wise, 1994), the Multicultural Counseling Awareness Scale (MCAS-B; Ponterotto, Rieger, Barrett, & Sparks, 1994), the Multicultural Awareness-Knowledge-and Skills Survey (MAKSS; D 'Andrea, Daniels, & Heck, 1991), and the Cross Cultural Counseling Inventory Revised (CCCI-R; LaFromboise, Coleman, & Hernandez, 1991).…”

“…The few instruments that do exist to measure MCCs do not seem to cover the realities of the school counselor role. Indeed, the measures that have been developed are typically normed on community mental health professionals and not school counselors (cf., CCCI-R; LaFromboise, Coleman, & Hernandez, 1991;MAKSS;D'Andrea, Daniels, & Heck, 1991;MCAS-B;Ponterotto, Rieger, Barrett, & Sparks, 1994;MCI;Sodowsky, Taffe, Gutkin, & Wise, 1994). As school counselors' roles vary greatly from those of community mental health professionals, it becomes increasingly important to have a measure normed on school counselors.…”
