This quantitative research sought to answer two questions: (a) What is the factor structure of emic and etic constructs?; and (b) How much do the extracted factors explain the variance of emic and etic constructs within the survey? These questions were answered through the use of an exploratory factor analysis. A total of 294 counselors participated in a survey through Qualtrics. The survey consisted of statements which participants either agreed or disagreed on a 6-point Likert scale. The statements consisted of multicultural counseling behaviors. An exploratory factor analysis produced a three-factor solution. The first factor, which accounted for 24.02% of the total variance was labeled as the Counseling Relationship. The Counseling Relationship had an eigenvalue of 6.00. Factor loadings for the Counseling Relationship ranged from λ = .49 to λ = .89. The Counseling Relationship scale consists of six items. The second factor, which accounted for 11.69% of the total variance, was labeled as Emic. Emic had an eigenvalue of 2.92. Factor loadings for Emic ranged from λ = .43 to λ = .61. The Emic scale consists of 11 items. The third factor, which accounted for 8.19% of the total variance, was labeled as Etic. Etic had an eigenvalue of 2.05. Factor loadings for Etic ranged from λ = .41 to λ = .69. The Etic scale consists of seven items.
