Sue and Sue's Racial Identity Model is a framework that outlines the stages individuals go through in developing their racial identity. The model consists of five stages: pre-encounter, encounter, immersion-emersion, internalization, and commitment. Each stage reflects different levels of awareness and understanding of one's racial identity and the impact of racism. The model emphasizes the importance of personal experiences and social context in shaping racial identity. It highlights how individuals may move back and forth between stages as they encounter new experiences and insights related to their race and ethnicity, ultimately leading to a more integrated and committed sense of self.
