Reconstructing multicultural counselling competency : construct explication approach

This conceptual study aimed at refining the conceptual rigor of D. W. Sue’s
tricomponential model of multicultural counselling competency, and enhancing with an
addition of new attitude component. This study anchored its theoretical basis on a
concept of nomological network (Cronbach & Meehi, 1955). Construct explication
approach (Murphy & Davidshofer, 1998) was taken to develop full explication of four
componential model of MCC, containing attitude-awareness-knowledge-skills
components. Comprehensive literature review was conducted in the area of multicultural
counselling competency to develop working definitions of awareness-knowledge-skills
component. Another review was conducted to develop a working definition and a
conceptual model of attitude. Under the four-componential framework, a total of 284
characteristic descriptions previously developed under the tricomponential model were
conceptually re-examined and re-categorized. Result of the analyses revealed a total of 13
subcategories under the four components. Full construct explication of the four
componential model was developed. Research implications of the new model to MCC
measurement studies and practical applications to training models will be discussed.
