Acculturation and Educational Achievement in American Samoan Adolescents

Baldauf, Richard B., Jr.; Ayabe, Harold I.

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 8, 2, 241-56, Jun 77

The relationship of educational achievement to measures of acculturation was explored for 190 high school seniors from American Samoa using canonical variate analysis. Educational achievement was found to be related mainly to the 'modern man' approach to acculturation, the only approach to cross-validate. (Author/JM)
