Franco, J. N. (1983). An acculturation scale for Mexican-American children. The Journal of General Psychology, 108, 175-181.
Describes the development of an acculturation scale for Mexican American children. The instrument, to be completed by someone who knows the child well (e.g., teacher or counselor), is a 10-item Likert-type scale that requires the rater to respond on a 1-5 scale. Data from 141 Mexican American and 34 Anglo 1st, 3rd, and 6th graders support the reliability and validity of the scale. Factor analysis results are in agreement with the hypothesis that variables such as peer associations, ethnic identification, and language preference, usage, and proficiency are involved in measuring acculturation levels.
