Olmedo, E. L., Martinez, Jr., J. L, & Martinez, S. R. (1978). Measure of acculturation for Chicano adolescents. Psychological Reports, 42, 159-170.
A paper-and-pencil measure of acculturation for Chicano adolescents was developed using multiple regression techniques; Ss were 924 Chicano and Anglo high school students in 3 southern California communities. A linear combination of sociocultural and semantic differential variables provided for optimal discrimination between Chicanos and Anglos. A double cross-validation procedure indicated that the 20-variable regression equation was reasonably stable, yielding validity coefficients from .66 to .80. An ancillary study of 129 Chicano and Anglo junior college students included in the regression equation resulted in 3 factors; 2 were slightly intercorrelated and loaded primarily with sociocultural variables pertaining to language spoken at home, nationality, and socioeconomic status of the head of household. The 3rd factor was essentially orthogonal to the other 2 and showed high loadings for semantic differential scales for the concepts “mother,” “father,” and “male” on the potency dimension.
