This chapter discusses the second Guideline and Competency Statements of the APA's Guidelines on Multicultural Education, Training, Research, Practice, and Organizational Change for Psychologists. Guideline 2: "Psychologists are encouraged to recognize the importance of multicultural sensitivity/responsiveness, knowledge of, and understanding about ethnically and racially different individuals." Psychologists committed to developing their interpersonal, multicultural competence in interactions will be able to articulate: (a) how their communication style (verbal and nonverbal) is influenced by perceptions of the "Other" and affects receivers of their message; (b) how others' communication style (verbal and nonverbal) affects how they hear a message and the attributions they make to the speaker; (c) high- and low-context communication from different cultural socialization; (d) how the role of microaggressions, dynamics of power and White privilege, and aversive racism perpetuate intergroup bias; and (e) how the contact hypothesis can contribute to more positive intergroup relations.
