Hispanic Familism and Acculturation: What Changes and What Doesn't?

Sabogal, Fabio; And Others

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v9 n4 p397-412 Dec 1987

The effects of acculturalization on attitudinal familism in 452 Hispanics compared to 227 White non-Hispanics were examined. Despite varied national origins, Hispanics reported similar attitudes, indicating that familism is a core characteristic in the Hispanic culture. The high level of perceived family support remained unchanged despite changes in acculturalization. (JMM)
