A discourse analysis of cultural humility within counseling dyads
Abstract
A growing body of empirical literature has substantiated that cultural humility (CH) contributes meaningfully to a variety of therapeutic processes and outcomes. However, no study has concretely described how CH is linguistically and discursively enacted within therapeutic exchanges. Using interactional sociolinguistic discourse analysis, we explored the sociolinguistic strategies along with three dimensions of CH: (a) cultural teachability, (b) lack of cultural arrogance, and (c) relational orientation. Participants included six pairs of cross‐racial counseling dyads. Our analyses of the session and follow‐up interview transcripts yielded a range of sociolinguistic strategies (i.e., positioning, use of reinforcement, repetition, and use of pronouns) corresponding to the CH dimensions. We discuss clinical, research, and training implications.

The CHES showed excellent internal consistency reliability, with Cronbach's alphas above 0.90 for both full scales and subscales.

A three-factor solution for the CHES achieved excellent model fit, representing three subscales: cultural teachability, cultural superiority and disrespect, and relational-oriented engagement.

CC seems to be most compatible with the dimension of relational-oriented engagement (CHES Factor C).
“Specifically, CC seems to be most compatible with the dimension of relational-oriented engagement (CHES Factor C), which represents the counselor's ability to collaboratively and nondefensively address cultural and value differences within counseling (Zhu et al., 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
