Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics

Marín, G., Sabogal, F., MarĂ­n, B. V., Otero-Sabogal, R., & Perez-Stable, E. J. (1987). Development of a short acculturation scale for Hispanics. Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 9, 183-205.

Developed a 12-item acculturation scale for Hispanics and conducted separate factor analyses of the responses of 363 Hispanics and 228 Anglos, which produced 3 factors: Language Use, Media, and Ethnic Social Relations. The 12-item scale (explaining 67.6% of the variance for Hispanics) correlated highly with the following validation criteria: generation, length of residence in the U.S., age at arrival, ethnic self-identification, and acculturation index. The validity and reliability coefficients for this short scale are comparable to those obtained for other published scales.
