Acculturation of Prosocial and Competitive Behaviors Among Second-and Third-Generation Mexican-American Children
Knight, George P.; Kagan, Spencer
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 8, 3, 273-84, Sep 77
Found that increasing generation level was associated with decreasing frequency of altruism/group-enhancenment and equality choices and increasing frequency of rivalry/superiority choices, supporting an acculturation to the majority rather than acculturation to the barrio model. (Author/AM)
