Opis

Numerous measures of acculturation have been developed for use in minority cultures. In this study the Attitudes toward Acculturative Behavior Scale (AABS) has been developed to measure the attitudes of host culture members toward the acculturative behavior of minority cultures. Items from the East Asian Acculturation Measure (EAAM) were modified as well as new items written in line with the theoretical underpinnings of John Berry''s bidimensional model of acculturation.
