The research results indicated the following : A statistically significant difference at the ( 0.01 ) level in the pre- and post-applications of the cultural identity awareness test, favoring the post-application. A statistically significant difference at the ( 0.01 ) level in the pre- and post-applications of the cultural identity scale, favoring the post-application.
