Cultural Competency Revised: The California Brief Multicultural Competence Scale
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development
(2004)
Abstract
The authors describe the development of the California Brief Multicultural Competence Scale (CBMCS). The 21-item CBMCS was derived from principal component analysis, item content validated by a panel of experts, and confirmatory factor analyses. Several studies provided internal consistency, subscale intercorrelations, criterion-related validation, and assessment of possible social desirability contamination.
