| Research Abstract |
The major goals of this research project were : (a) to introduce and develop a reliable and valid measuring instrument of cultural competence(defined as a set of beliefs, cognition, and emotions in a criss-cross context encompassing home, school, and neighborhood, 1995) for high school students in Japan and Korea with an eye toward preventive interventions, (b) to examine its correlates with psychological well-being and life satisfaction among high school students, and (c) to provide implications in terms of prevention theories and interventions. The Attitude Toward Diversity in Cross-Context Situations(ATD-CC) Scale was developed to measure Salsa's concept of cultural competence, which consisted of 82 items relevant to social contexts for high school students. A total of 1,592 students in Japan and a sample of 403 students in Korea participated in the study. Principal factoring of the questionnaire items with Varimax rotation yield a 4-factor solution for the Japanese sample, and a 2-

factor solution in the Korean sample. The first two factors were shared by the two sample, each representing "cognitive-behavioral competence" and "emotional reactions to diversity. " Two additional factors in the Japanese sample were : "interpersonal openness" and "inferred competence among others. " Internal consistency reliability coefficients in each subscale were. 80 or above overall. Further regression analyses revealed that these factor scores in ATD-CC scale were significantly predictive of depression tendency and life satisfaction scores. Finally, the following suggestions were made for for future action and research programs : (a) the use of cultural competence as a useful construct in conceptualizing interpersonal and inter-group issues in Japanese and Korean high school contexts, (b)the importance of preventive intervention focusing on cultural competence among students as opposed to treatment-based intervention programs, (c) assessment of both micro-and macro--level assessment of cultural competence, and (d) further validation of ATD-CC Scale in countries other than Japan and Korea for cross-cultural validation.
