| Summary: | Racial groups differ in religious denomination, yet the variations between denominations as they are related to cultural values remain unclear. This study examined differences in self-identified religious denominations in the cultural values of Black and White Americans. A multivariate analysis of variance revealed a significant effect for race and cultural values supporting that self-identified religious denomination differs by racial group membership. Discriminant function analyses for Blacks and Whites separately also revealed significant differences in cultural value preferences and self-identified religious denomination, such that certain values predicted participant self-identified denomination. Results inform efforts to increase counselling competence for the inclusion of religiousness in therapy. Suggestions for further research are considered. |
