EVALUATING THE TRIAD MODEL OF CROSS-CULTURAL COUNSELOR TRAINING

ALEXIS GEORGE HERNANDEZ, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

The increased recognition of the importance of training counselors to work with ethnic minorities has led to the development of various training models such as Pedersen's (1982) triad model of cross-cultural counselor training. Three groups of students underwent cross-cultural training using one of the following formats: (a) didactic experience; (b) didactic experience with traditional role-play and feedback, or; (c) didactic experience with the triad training model. Upon completion of the training, the students were videotaped in a counseling session with a confederate male Mexican-American/Chicano client. The videotaped segments were randomly distributed to six professionals familiar with cross-cultural counseling, who evaluated the counselors using the Global Rating Scale, the Counselor Rating Form-Short, and the Cross-Cultural Counseling Inventory. The MANOVA procedure revealed no significant differences between the groups as measured by the evaluation instruments. The discussion focuses on the trend noted in the data and its support for the continued validation and support for experiential cross-cultural counselor training.
