Acculturation and MMPI Performance of Chicano and Anglo College Students.

Padilla, Eligio R.; And Others

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v4 n4 p451-66 Dec 1982

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and an acculturation inventory consisting of 15 semantic differential and sociocultural items were administered to Chicano college students. Factor analysis produced a four-dimensional measure of acculturation. Implications for future cross-cultural research and the difficulties in the psychological assessment of heterogeneous Chicano population are discussed. (Author/NQA)
