Reports the development of a 155-item questionnaire. The items were developed to assess the awareness and loyalty components of Padilla's acculturation model. Only the items that displayed normality and linearity of regression were included in the final instrument. The instrument is made up of two subscales with four factors each and was developed and validated on a randomly selected sample of 381 Mexican American adults from three southern California communities. Four factors were identified for both the cultural awareness and ethnic loyalty dimensions. Internal reliability estimates for the four factors were equal to or greater than .90
