A) monoculturalism
B) cultural encapsulation
C) ethnocentrism

Question 8

Dr. Lois, a White female counselor, is greeting a new patient in her office. Her patient, Ms. Clark, a middle-aged African American female, described that she was coming to counseling because she was struggling with being a single parent to her three children. Unlike her other clients, Dr. Lois did not ask when or how she became a single parent, but rather began counseling her in a solution-focused way. When she learned that Ms. Clark's husband, and father to the three children, was killed in a car accident on his way home from work, Dr. Lois reconsidered her treatment plan. Dr. Lois' lack of assessment, which led to a less effective treatment approach for Ms. Clark, is an example of ______.

A) explicit bias
B) implicit bias
C) monoculturalism
D) lack of cultural awareness

Accepted Answer

Dr. Lois' initial approach, which did not include a thorough assessment of Ms. Clark's situation, can be attributed to implicit bias. This type of bias operates unconsciously and can affect decisions and interactions without the individual being aware of its influence. In this case, Dr. Lois may have unconsciously made assumptions about Ms. Clark's situation based on her race or single-parent status, leading to a less effective initial treatment approach.

Question 9

What is the IAT?&#10;A) a multicultural competence treatment modality for minority clients&#10;B) a multicultural competence assessment for counselors&#10;C) a test designed to reveal conscious attitudes&#10;D) a test designed to reveal unconscious attitudes

Accepted Answer

The IAT (Implicit Association Test) is a test designed to reveal unconscious attitudes. It measures implicit biases that people may hold towards certain groups or concepts, which they may not be aware of on a conscious level. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Options A and B mention multicultural competence, which is not directly related to the IAT. Option C is incorrect as the IAT is specifically designed to reveal unconscious attitudes, not conscious ones.
