Abstract
ABSTRACT Religious beliefs are an important part of daily life for many individuals; however, these beliefs are often not discussed in therapy, creating potential barriers to treatment. The current study investigated factors influencing participant willingness to discuss religious beliefs with a therapist, including perceived clinician cultural humility (PCH), religious outlier status (ROS), and religious commitment (RC). Participants completed RC and ROS measures and viewed a clip depicting a clinician who was either high or low in cultural humility. They then rated the clinician’s cultural humility and their willingness to discuss religious beliefs. Results demonstrated that PCH was only significant predictor of willingness to discuss, accounting for 36% of the variance. These results suggest that clients are more willing to discuss their religious beliefs with a clinician who is high in cultural humility than one who is not, regardless of more stable client factors such as religious commitment and religious outlier status.
