the various dimensions of diversity, which
go beyond just embracing, appreciating

distinctions. When faced with the
necessity to live in a global community, it
is critical that WE uncover and explore
areas that can link us and allow us to
COLLABORATE.

LODEN’S
DIVERSITY WHEEL
MARILYN LODEN and JUDY ROSENER (1991)

◎ Loden recognized the demand
for an instrument that would
help people better understand
how group-based differences
influence people’s social
identities.
◎ The model was revised in 1996
to cover additional aspects of
group differences that were
implied in the first model.

◎ The different components in the
Diversity Wheel played significant
roles in building character and
possibly forming stereotypes.
◎ The Diversity wheel pointed to
the significance of or social
characters and the way in which
people develop their identity
when they are able to establish
connection with a specific group
of people.
