The Political Acculturation of Mexican American Adolescents.

Alva, Sylvia Alatorre

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v7 n4 p345-64 Dec 1985

Self-administered questionnaires were used to investigate the affective, cognitive, and behavioral political orientations of 150 Mexican American parochial high school students. Variables included attitudes toward and knowledge about Mexican, Chicano, and American political systems. Results showed acculturation having an important mediating role in affective and cognitive political orientations. (JHZ)
