Latino/Latina Adolescent Acculturation Scale

Felíx-Ortiz, M., Newcomb, M. D., & Myers, H. (1994). A multidimensional measure of cultural identity for Latino and Latina adolescents. Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 16(2), 99-115.

Assessed the multidimensional and multifaceted aspects of the complex phenomenon of cultural identity. 130 Latino college students responded to multiple items regarding language use, values/attitudes, behavior, and familiarity with aspects of American and Latina culture. 10 reliable scales were found to measure cultural identity: 3 language scales, 4 behavior/familiarity scales, and 3 values/attitudes scales. Behavior and language differentiated between highly bicultural individuals, Latino-identified, American-identified, and low-level bicultural Ss.
