Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v18 n1 p29-38 Feb 1996

A four-item measure of acculturation for Hispanics was administered as part of interviews conducted with 684 first-, second-, and third-generation Puerto Ricans and Mexican Americans, ages 15-24, living in urban low-income households. The four-item scale correlated highly with generation, length of time in the United States, subjective evaluation of acculturation, and other characteristics. (SV)
