Trainees often express anxieties when working with clients from different sociocultural backgrounds. Group supervision can provide a space to address such concerns, including managing culturally related countertransference and understanding sociocultural factors in issues faced by clients. This process requires critical consciousness and discussion of trainees' and clients' cultural identities. This study built on research highlighting the positive role of cultural humility in individual supervision and group therapy to examine cultural humility in group supervision and its contribution to trainees' self-efficacy in adapting therapy and managing relationship conflicts with a range of clients (i.e., cultural responsiveness self-efficacy), via sociocultural awareness and minimal cultural concealment about themselves and their clients. Ninety-one master's level counseling trainees in Hong Kong from 18 supervision groups in two training programs completed measures of cultural humility, cultural concealment, sociocultural awareness, and cultural responsiveness self-efficacy. Multilevel modeling indicated that, at the within-trainee level, higher group cultural humility was associated with higher sociocultural awareness and lower cultural concealment about themselves and their clients. Greater sociocultural awareness, but not cultural concealment, was, in turn, linked to higher cultural responsiveness self-efficacy. At the between-trainee level, higher group cultural humility correlated with lower trainee cultural concealment, but not sociocultural awareness, which was associated with cultural responsiveness self-efficacy, although no mediation was observed. This study underscores the value of cultural humility in the context of group supervision. Implications for multicultural group supervision are discussed.

实习生在与来自不同社会文化背景的客户合作时常常会表达出焦虑情绪。团体督导可以提供一个空间来解决这些担忧，包括处理与文化相关的反移情以及理解客户所面临问题中的社会文化因素。这个过程需要对实习生和客户的文化身份进行批判性思考和讨论。本研究基于强调文化谦逊在个体督导和团体治疗中的积极作用的研究，通过社会文化意识以及对自身和客户的最小文化隐瞒，来考察团体督导中的文化谦逊及其对实习生在调整治疗以及处理与一系列客户的关系冲突（即文化响应自我效能感）方面自我效能感的贡献。来自香港两个培训项目中18个督导小组的91名硕士水平的咨询实习生完成了文化谦逊、文化隐瞒、社会文化意识和文化响应自我效能感的测量。多层次模型表明，在实习生个体层面，更高的团体文化谦逊与更高的社会文化意识以及对自身和客户更低的文化隐瞒相关。反过来，更高的社会文化意识而非文化隐瞒与更高的文化响应自我效能感相关。在实习生之间的层面，更高的团体文化谦逊与更低的实习生文化隐瞒相关，但与社会文化意识无关，社会文化意识与文化响应自我效能感相关，尽管未观察到中介作用。本研究强调了文化谦逊在团体督导背景下的价值。讨论了对多元文化团体督导的启示。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
