Content:
Presents an analysis of theoretical and applied developments in the measurement of acculturation. This book gives a diverse, interdisciplinary approach to the topic that includes theory and data relevant to the 4 major ethnic minority groups: African Americans, Asian Americans, American Indians, and Hispanics/Latinos. The volume looks specifically at developments in the analysis of acculturation as a culture-learning process--its relationship with other constructs (such as ethnic identification) and with cultural values and mores. Contributors also examine how acculturation is measured and applied to explain changes in family relations, health status, addictions, and mental health. This book is useful as a reference to those who study diverse ethnic and cultural groups. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).
