Acculturation Attitudes among Young Immigrants as a Function of Perceived Parental Attitudes toward Cultural Change.

Sam, David Lackland

Journal of Early Adolescence, v15 n2 p238-58 May 1995

Investigated acculturation attitudes among Third World immigrants in a culturally homogeneous society. Responses of adolescents 10 through 17 years of age (n=568) indicated that integration and separation were the 2 preferred forms of acculturation. Perceived parental attitudes accounted for about 20% of the variation of the adolescents' mode of acculturation. (RJM)
