This study sought to determine differences in the cross-racial practice experiences of white and minority social services practitioners. Fifty-three counselors in a Veterans Administration outreach center evaluated various aspects of their cross-racial practice experiences. Both white and minority counselors perceived themselves to work equally well with white clients, but white counselors perceived themselves to be less effective when working with minority clients. The majority of white and minority counselors reported identifying the source of white clients' problems as being internal and that of minority clients' problems as being external. This finding was interpreted as being a possible bias against white clients on the part of both white and minority practitioners. White counselors reported experiencing less client credibility, and minority counselors reported more incidents of racism. Implications for social work are discussed.
本研究旨在确定白人和少数族裔社会服务从业者跨种族实践经历的差异。一家退伍军人管理局外展中心的53名咨询师评估了他们跨种族实践经历的各个方面。白人和少数族裔咨询师都认为自己与白人客户合作得同样好，但白人咨询师认为自己与少数族裔客户合作时效果较差。大多数白人和少数族裔咨询师报告称，他们认为白人客户问题的根源是内在的，而少数族裔客户问题的根源是外在的。这一发现被解释为白人和少数族裔从业者可能对白客户存在偏见。白人咨询师报告称客户对他们的信任度较低，少数族裔咨询师报告称遭遇种族主义的事件更多。文中讨论了对社会工作的启示。
