The present study explored multicultural self-awareness among 134 K-12 in-service school teachers using the Cultural Diversity Awareness Inventory (CDAI). The results were compared to Yeung's (2006), allowing for a comparison between Eastern and Western cultures. A composite score was generated for each of the five areas measured by the CDAI. A chi-square was then conducted to determine whether teachers from an Eastern or Western culture responded differently. A statistically significant difference at the 0.05 level was found in all five areas with teachers from an Eastern culture were more likely to strongly agree/agree in all five areas.
