- Abstract
Past theoretical and empirical studies have consistently found that the superior performance of multicultural counselors and the effectiveness and efficacy of multicultural counseling are influenced by counseling alliances that are established with counselees. This study aims to examine the differences in counseling alliances between male and female multicultural counselors. This study used the ex-post-facto method. A total of 135 male and 382 female prospective multicultural counselors from who were the sixth semester students of eleven Guidance and Counseling Departments in Indonesian higher education institutions became participants of the study. They were selected using two stage random sampling. The data of counseling alliance is measured by using the adaptation of New 12-item Working Alliance Inventory-Therapist-Short Form. The data analysis techniques are independent sample t-test. Based on the data, it can be concluded that there are significant positive differences from counseling alliances between male and female of multicultural counselors. The research implications that gender and sensitivity, as well as gender awareness, need to be considered and improved in understanding and developing counseling alliances for multicultural counselor’s candidates.
