Minimization Stage of Bennett's Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity

In Bennett's Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity, minimization is the third stage of decreasing ethnocentrism.

They may continue interacting mainly within their own culture while remaining unaware of their own cultural assumptions.
