You are being invited to participate in a research study titled Exploring culturally competent behaviors in clinical supervision. This study is being done by Mark Beverly from Northern Arizona University. The purpose of this research study is to investigate the perspectives of licensed psychologists, pre- and post-doctoral interns, and students about their experiences in clinical Supervision, to obtain information on specific supervisor behaviors and practices considered to be most important to address diversity in Clinical Supervision. If you agree to take part in this study, please complete the survey below. This survey will ask about your experience of clinical supervision, the experience of culturally sensitive supervision behaviors, demographic variables, preparatory experiences, and training and it will take you approximately 15 minutes to complete. You may not directly benefit from this research; however, we hope that with your participation in the study, you will have the opportunity to reflect and learn more about your supervisory experiences, and culturally sensitive supervisory behaviors, as well as contribute to providing a framework that may be used to evaluate and guide policy and practice by improving understanding of the barriers to delivering culturally appropriate clinical Supervision and the development of shared understandings and recommendations through new shared understandings, connections, and insights that may be beneficial to you in your practice.
