Acculturative Stress in Children: A Modification of the SAFE Scale.

Chavez, David V.; And Others

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v19 n1 p34-44 Feb 1997

A modified version of the Societal, Attitudinal, Familial, and Environmental Acculturative Stress Scale (SAFE) was administered to 71 Latino and Euramerican children aged 8-10 from southern California. Despite being U.S.-born, Latino children experienced significantly more acculturative stress than their Euramerican peers, thereby helping to establish the validity of the measure. Includes modified scale. (LP)
