Grappling with race: A national study of the broaching attitudes and behavior of school counselors, clinical mental health counselors, and counselor trainees

This study examined counselors’ openness to discussing issues of race, ethnicity, and culture by setting (e.g., school, clinical mental health, and counselor trainee) using the Broaching Attitudes and Behavior Scale. School counselors and White counselors reported significantly higher mean scores on the Avoidant subscale, a measure of counselors’ perceptions that discussions about race, ethnicity, and culture are unwarranted. Significant main effects resulted for counselor setting. Implications for counseling are addressed.

Abstract

This study examined counselors’ openness to discussing issues of race, ethnicity, and culture by setting (e.g., school, clinical mental health, and counselor trainee) using the Broaching Attitudes and Behavior Scale. School counselors and White counselors reported significantly higher mean scores on the Avoidant subscale, a measure of counselors’ perceptions that discussions about race, ethnicity, and culture are unwarranted. Significant main effects resulted for counselor setting. Implications for counseling are addressed. Resumen Este estudio examinó la receptividad de los consejeros a discutir cuestiones de raza, etnicidad y cultura según el entorno (p. ej., escuela, tratamiento clínico de salud mental y consejeros en formación) empleando la Escala de Actitudes de Abordamiento y Comportamiento (BABS, por sus siglas en inglés). Los consejeros escolares y los consejeros blancos comunicaron unas puntuaciones medias significativamente elevadas en la subescala Evasiva , una medida de las percepciones de los consejeros que indica que consideran las discusiones sobre raza, etnicidad y cultura como innecesarias. Los resultados indicaron efectos principales significativos en el entorno de la consejería. Se abordan las implicaciones para la consejería.
