Multicultural competence and Big Five personality as predictors of instructor effectiveness in counseling and psychology faculty.

Efforts to provide effective training in multicultural counseling have largely ignored instructor or faculty multicultural competence. In this study, we surveyed counseling trainees about their perception of instructors’ multicultural competence, personality, and instruction effectiveness. Participants were 67 graduate students from counseling and applied psychology programs who rated 146 instructors. We asked participants to rate 2 instructors and placed no restriction on type of course taught. We found significant relationships between perceptions of faculty multicultural competence, personality, and instruction effectiveness. Exploratory multiple regression suggested that the best predictors of instructor multicultural competence were student satisfaction with the course and student perceptions of instructor agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness. We address training implications and future directions for counseling faculty multicultural competence. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
