Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II

Cuéllar, I., Arnold, B, & Maldonado, R. (1995). Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II: A revision of the original ARSMA scale. Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 17(3), 275-304.

Describes the revision of the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans (ARSMA) and validation of the new instrument's separate subscales for assessing acculturation processes through an orthogonal multidimensional approach by measuring cultural orientation toward Mexican and Anglo culture independently. The subscales were found to have good internal reliabilities, a high Pearson correlation coefficient with the original scale. Construct validity of the ARSMA-II was demonstrated with 379 undergraduates from 5 levels of acculturation. ARSMA-II is multifactorial and capable of generating multidimensional acculturative types.
