✦ Synopsis

Purposes of this study were to (a) examine relationships among counselor educators' attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions of institutional support concerning race, gender, sexual orientation, and social class and (b) investigate the effects of attitudes and institutional perceptions on behaviors. A nationwide sample of 154 counseling faculty completed the Survey of Cultural Attitudes and Behaviors (K. L. Miller & S. M. Miller, 1997). Faculty attitudes directly predicted behaviors. Perceptions of institutional support directly and indirectly predicted behaviors. The authors identify strategies for modifying discriminatory behaviors.
