Identity Development and Multicultural Competency.

This study investigated the relationship of identity development, measured by the Self-Identity Inventory (SII), and universal-diverse orientation (UDO) to multicultural counseling competence. After controlling for personal identity variables, multicultural coursework and training, and social desirability, multiple regression analyses indicated SII and UDO accounted for significant additional variance in multicultural competency.
