This study examined therapist differences in their clients' ratings of their therapists' multicultural competencies (MCCs) as well as tested whether therapists' who were rated as exhibiting more MCCs also had clients who had better therapy outcomes (N = 143 clients and 31 therapists). All clients completed at least 3 sessions. Results demonstrated that therapists accounted for less than 1% of the variance in their clients' Cross-Cultural Counseling Inventory–Revised (CCCI-R; T. D. LaFromboise, H. L. K. Coleman, & A. Hernandez, 1991) scores, suggesting that therapists did not differ in terms of how clients rated their MCCs. Therapists accounted for approximately 8.5% of the variance in therapy outcomes. For each therapist, their clients' CCCI-R scores were aggregated to provide an estimate of therapists' MCCs. Therapists' MCCs, based on aggregate CCCI-R scores, did not account for the variability in therapy outcomes that were attributed to them. Additionally, clients' race/ethnicity, therapists' race/ethnicity, or the interaction of clients'–therapists' race/ethnicity were not significantly associated with clients' perceptions of their therapists' MCCs.
本研究考察了治疗师在客户对其多元文化能力（MCC）的评价方面的差异，并测试了被评价为表现出更多 MCC 的治疗师是否也拥有治疗效果更好的客户（N=143 名客户和 31 名治疗师）。所有客户至少完成了 3 次治疗。结果表明，治疗师在客户的跨文化咨询量表修订版（CCCI-R；T.D. LaFromboise、H.L.K. Coleman 和 A. Hernandez，1991）评分中的差异不到 1%，这表明客户对治疗师的 MCC 评价没有差异。治疗师对治疗效果的差异约占 8.5%。对于每位治疗师，他们的客户的 CCCI-R 分数被汇总，以提供对治疗师 MCC 的估计。基于汇总的 CCCI-R 分数，治疗师的 MCC 并不能解释归因于他们的治疗效果的可变性。此外，客户的种族/民族、治疗师的种族/民族，或客户-治疗师种族/民族的相互作用与客户对治疗师 MCC 的看法均无显著关联。
