- Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II (ARSMA-II): (subject-baseline, subject-follow-up)
The ARSMA measures acculturation in Mexican-American subjects only.
Forty-eight items cover whether the subject primarily speaks Spanish,
English, or both, how the subject associates and relates to Mexicans,
Mexican Americans, and Anglos, and how he/she feels about the values
and ideas of these groups.
- Multigroup Measure of Ethnic Identity (Phinney): (subject-baseline, subject-follow-up)
The Phinney measure is a general measure of racial identity that is
used with all subjects. Twelve items cover attachment, pride, and
involvement of the subject to his/her ethnic group.
