Abstract
Searching for a model to investigate, understand, process, and evaluate human experience has been a pervasive quest throughout history. The author proposes a five-stage processing model, the Contextual Organization Model for Processing and Evaluating (COMPE), based on an analysis of stage theories in group development. This five-stage model is actually a 5 X 5 X 5 - ∞ paradigm, and the contextual concerns of Introduction, Purpose, Interpersonal Consideration, Experience, and Perspective are paralleled by the contextual questions of What?, Why?, Who?, When?, How?, and Where?, which have been intuitively used in a wide range of settings. The intersection of these stages and phases provides contextual solutions in the form of a matrix composed to 25 sections. The five potentially "universal" stages have been shown to have an analogous relationship to the stages of theories in many fields of psychology including the theories of Piaget, Kohlberg, Freud, Erikson, Maslow, Jung, Aristotle, Guilford, Kubler-Ross, Thorndike, and Festinger.
