Mendoza, R. H. (1989). An empirical scale to measure type and degree of acculturation in Mexican-American adolescents and adults. Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 20(4), 372-385.
Describes the development of the Cultural Life Style Inventory, a self-report instrument designed to measure type and degree of acculturation in Mexican American adolescents and adults. The proposed instrument (1) measures levels of acculturation on 5 relatively orthogonal dimensions (intrafamily language usage, extrafamily language usage, social affiliations and activities, cultural familiarity and activities, and cultural identification and pride); (2) generates separate estimates of cultural resistance, cultural incorporation, and cultural shift; and (3) identifies dominant or nondominant cultural lifestyle tendencies. Empirical data from Mexican and Anglo Americans concerning the content and construct validity, temporal stability, internal consistency, and equivalence of the Spanish and English versions of the scale are presented.
