Abstract

This cross-sectional study explored 897 participants’ decision making in response to a school counseling case containing an ethical dilemma and compared respondents’ approach to the variables included in the Intercultural Model of Ethical Decision Making (IMED). Although 60% of participants identified that the school counselor’s beliefs could influence decision making, only 10% identified the ethical issue. Differences were found in the resources consulted across those who identified the ethical issue and those who did not. Results and implications are discussed.
