The use of the Internet is growing at a staggering pace. One significant use of the Internet is for potential students and the parents of potential students to explore educational possibilities. Along these lines potential marriage and family therapy students may have many questions that include a program's commitment to cultural diversity. This study utilized qualitative content analysis methodology in combination with critical race theory to examine how Commission On Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) accredited doctoral programs represented cultural text on their World Wide Web pages. Findings indicate that many COAMFTE-accredited doctoral programs re-present programmatic information about diversity that appear to be incongruent with cultural sensitivity. These apparent incongruities are highlighted by the codification, inconsistent, and isolated use of cultural text. In addition, cultural text related to social justice was absent. Implications and suggestions are discussed.
互联网的使用正以惊人的速度增长。互联网的一个重要用途是供潜在学生及其家长探索教育机会。沿着这些思路，潜在的婚姻和家庭治疗专业学生可能有许多问题，其中包括一个项目对文化多样性的承诺。本研究采用定性内容分析方法并结合批判种族理论，以考察婚姻和家庭治疗教育认证委员会（COAMFTE）认证的博士项目在其万维网页面上如何呈现文化内容。研究结果表明，许多COAMFTE认证的博士项目重新呈现了有关多样性的项目信息，这些信息似乎与文化敏感性不一致。文化文本的编纂、不一致和孤立使用凸显了这些明显的不一致之处。此外，与社会正义相关的文化文本也不存在。文中还讨论了相关影响和建议。
