Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v50 n1 p25-34 Jan 2022
This study examined counselors' openness to discussing issues of race, ethnicity, and culture by setting (e.g., school, clinical mental health, and counselor trainee) using the Broaching Attitudes and Behavior Scale. School counselors and White counselors reported significantly higher mean scores on the "Avoidant" subscale, a measure of counselors' perceptions that discussions about race, ethnicity, and culture are unwarranted. Significant main effects resulted for counselor setting. Implications for counseling are addressed.
