Abstract
Increasing our understanding about factors that predict social justice advocacy engagement can aid educators in choosing learning approaches that promote both personal and institutional change (Goodman et al., 2004). The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that may be related to social justice engagement in psychology doctoral students, as indicated by the multicultural and social justice literature. Results indicated that LGB minority status, higher levels of social justice interest and higher levels of social justice self-efficacy predicted greater orientation towards political and social advocacy. Social justice self-efficacy was also found to predict greater orientation towards confronting discrimination. Social justice self-efficacy was not shown to mediate the relationship between privilege awareness (White, heterosexual, male) and political and social advocacy or confronting discrimination. Training implications and future directions are discussed
