Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between multicultural competence and multicultural self-efficacy. Additionally, this study seeks to examine the effect that previous supervisors have on practicing supervisors' multicultural competence, multicultural self-efficacy, and development of skills and behaviors associated with multicultural supervision. There were 141 participants in the study comprised of both master's and doctoral level supervisors from university, community, and primary and secondary school settings. There was a significant relationship between multicultural competence and multicultural self-efficacy. There was also .an interaction between perceived cultural similarity to previous supervisors and perceived demonstration of multicultural supervision by previous supervisors on practicing supervisors' multicultural competence, multicultural self-efficacy, and demonstration of skills and behaviors associated with multicultural supervision. Also there were significant relationships between perceived cultural similarity to a previous supervisor and practicing supervisors multicultural competence and multicultural self-efficacy, and between perceived demonstration of multicultural supervision by a previous supervisor and multicultural competence. Implications for supervisors and counselor educators are discussed, and suggestions for future research are provided.
