Cross-Cultural Awareness Development: A Conceptual Model.

Christensen, Carole Pigler

Counselor Education and Supervision, v28 n4 p270-89 Jun 1989

A five-stage model is presented which proposes that majority and minority group members go through parallel, but somewhat different, stages in developing cross-cultural awareness. The five stages described for each group, with transitions between them, are as follows: unawareness, beginning awareness, conscious awareness, consolidated awareness, and transcendent awareness.
