Burnam, M. A., Telles, C. A., Karno, M., Hough, R. L., & Escobar, J. I. (1987). Measurement of acculturation in a community population of Mexican Americans. Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 9(2), 105-130.
Administered a 26-item acculturation measure (appended) to a probability sample of 1245 adult Mexican Americans in Los Angeles. The measure demonstrated high internal reliability for the total sample and for specific sex, educational, and language groups. Construct validity was supported by showing that acculturation scores predicted length of exposure to US culture. Data suggest that, among 1st-generation Mexican Americans, those who were younger and male acculturated more rapidly than those who were older and female. This sex difference, but not the age difference, could be explained by educational and employment differences.
