Please review the following regarding identity development and respond to the questions. Minority Identity Development ● Minority group members in the United States tend to develop a stronger sense of racial and ethnic identity than do majority group members. ● In its four stages, minority identity development focuses on racial and ethnic identities but may also apply to other identities such as class, gender, or sexual orientation. ● It is important to remember that, as with any model, this one represents the experiences of many people, but not everyone moves through these stages in exactly the same way. ● Some may spend more time in one stage, may experience a stage in different ways, or remain stuck in one of the early stages. o Stage 1: Unexamined Identity ▪ This stage is characterized by the lack of exploration of ethnicity. ▪ Minority members may initially accept the values and attitudes of the majority culture, including negative views of their own group. ▪ They may have a strong desire to assimilate into the dominant culture, and they may express positive attitudes toward the dominant group. o Stage 2: Conformity ▪ In this stage, individuals may have a strong desire to assimilate into the dominant culture and so internalize the values and norms of the dominant group. ▪ These individuals may have negative, self-deprecating attitudes toward themselves, as well as toward their group in general. o Stage 3: Resistance and Separatism ▪ Many kinds of events can trigger the move to the third stage, including negative events, such as encountering discrimination or name calling. ▪ Sometimes, a growing awareness that not all the values of the dominant group are beneficial to minorities may lead to this stage.

▪ This stage may be characterized by a blanket endorsement of one’s group and all the values and attitudes attributed to it. o Stage 4: Integration ▪ According to this model, the ideal outcome of the minority identity development process is the last stage, an achieved identity. ▪ People who reach this stage have a strong sense of their own group identity (based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and so on) and an appreciation for other cultural groups. ▪ In this stage, individuals realize that racism and other forms of oppression occur but try to redirect any anger from the previous stage in more positive ways. Questions: 1. Which stage are you on currently? Explain why you feel this way. 2. Do you feel that you skipped a stage? If so, which one? 3. How might you explain your personal progression through the stages? Has your interaction with family or other environmental factors had a significant impact on your progression? 4. Do you think that there is a missing stage? If so, how would you define it? 5. How do you think minority identity development differs from majority identity development?
