| This
pilot study was designed to provide a data set for the
development of new measures to assess acculturative status
(i.e., degree of acculturation and enculturation on specific
dimensions of beliefs) and context (i.e., parent and child
reports of neighborhood quality with separate measures
for reports of objective characteristics of the neighborhood,
such as amount of graffiti, and reports of subjective
feelings about the quality of the area, such as fear of
crime). We surveyed 192 mothers and children from an inner
city community limiting our sample to Anglo and Mexican
American families who represented over 80% of the students
in the schools. Once measurement development is completed,
this data set will be used to examine the combined and
interactive effects of culture and context on children's
adjustment. |
