The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS)
Bennett and Bennett (2004)

PURPOSE:
1) Recognize communication behaviors which differ from
your own
2) Take into account what can influence these types of
behaviors
3) Try to analyze how linguistic and cultural communities
differ in terms of communication behavior and influencing
factors
The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS)
Bennett and Bennett (2004)

Stage 1: Denial. The individual does not recognize

cultural differences.

Stage 2: Defense. The individual starts to recognize

cultural differences and is intimidated by them,
resulting in either a superior view on own culture or an
unjustified high regard for the new one.
The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS)
Bennett and Bennett (2004)

Stage 3: Minimization. Although individuals see cultural

differences, they bank more on the universality of ideas
rather than on cultural differences.

Stage 4: Acceptance. The individual begins to

appreciate important cultural differences in behaviors and
eventually in values.
The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS)
Bennett and Bennett (2004)

Stage 5: Adaptation. The individual is very open to world

views when accepting new perspectives.

Stage 6: Integration. Individuals start to go beyond their

own cultures and see themselves and their actions based on
multifarious cultural viewpoints.
