这项研究考察了学员的人口统计特征和培训前的能力是否可以预测他们是否参与了自愿多元化培训。结果表明，人口统计变量对培训兴趣(研究一)或实际培训参与(研究二)没有影响。然而，培训前的能力水平对这两种结果都有积极的影响。更有能力的受训者表示对额外培训更感兴趣(研究一)，并且更有可能参加自愿培训课程(研究二)。作者认为，在多样性领域能力较低的受训者没有意识到自己的能力水平较低，因此没有动力参加旨在提高多样性能力的培训计划。讨论了这些发现对提供自愿多样性培训的组织的影响。版权所有©2007 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
This research examined whether trainee demographics and pre-training competence predicted participation in voluntary diversity training. Results indicate that demographic variables had no impact on interest in training (Study One) or on actual training participation (Study Two). However, pre-training competence levels had a positive effect on both outcomes. More competent trainees expressed more interest in additional training (Study One) and were more likely to attend a voluntary training session (Study Two). The authors suggest that trainees with low competence in the diversity domain are unaware of their low competence levels and therefore are not motivated to participate in training programs designed to increase diversity competence. Implications of these findings for organizations offering voluntary diversity training are discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
