Using an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design, we investigated the relationship between cultural humility (CH) and cultural competence (CC), two concepts that have been widely discussed in the multicultural counseling literature. We first adopted a thematic analysis to explore how 14 experienced counselor educators perceived the CH–CC relationship and identified three preliminary themes. Then, we utilized quantitative analyses to test the hypotheses derived from the qualitative themes, based on a sample of 434 adults who received mental health services. Both qualitative and quantitative results supported that CH and CC (a) share conceptual alignment; (b) emphasize on different aspects of counselor characteristics and behaviors in cultural contexts; and (c) both play an integral, yet slightly varied, role during the counseling process. We discuss implications regarding embracing CH and CC in the counseling practice, counselor educator, and future research on multicultural counseling.

咨询中的文化谦逊和文化能力：探索性混合方法调查

使用探索性顺序混合方法研究设计，我们调查了文化谦逊 (CH) 和文化能力 (CC) 之间的关系，这两个概念在多元文化咨询文献中被广泛讨论。我们首先采用主题分析来探讨 14 位经验丰富的辅导员教育工作者如何看待 CH-CC 关系，并确定了三个初步主题。然后，我们基于 434 名接受心理健康服务的成年人样本，利用定量分析来检验从定性主题得出的假设。定性和定量结果都支持 CH 和 CC (a) 在概念上一致；(b) 强调文化背景下辅导员特征和行为的不同方面；(c) 两者都起着不可或缺的作用，但略有不同，咨询过程中的作用。我们讨论了在咨询实践、咨询教育者和未来多元文化咨询研究中采用 CH 和 CC 的意义。
