在本研究中，作者实证研究了多维概念化的文化适应使用双文化参与量表-短版本（BIQ-S; J. Szapocznik，W。M. Kurtines，& T.费尔南德斯，1980年）。来自四项预防试验的基线数据，共代表893名青少年和880名西班牙裔监护人参与者，用于检查BIQ-S评分的因素结构。探索性和验证性因素分析的结果支持一个四因素的解决方案。这些因素被标记为：（a）使用西班牙语的舒适度，（B）使用英语的舒适度，（c）享受西班牙裔文化活动，（d）享受美国文化活动。研究结果支持扩展的理论概念的双文化主义，并建议在遗产和接收文化，舒适的语言和享受其他文化成分代表不同的因素。测量不变性分析显示，稳定的因素结构，以及一些测量差异，青少年和他们的监护人。
In the present study, the authors empirically investigated a multidimensional conceptualization of acculturation using the Bicultural Involvement Questionnaire-Short Version (BIQ-S; J. Szapocznik, W. M. Kurtines, & T. Fernandez, 1980). Baseline data from four prevention trials, representing a total of 893 adolescent and 880 guardian participants of Hispanic descent, were used to examine the factor structure of BIQ-S scores. Results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a four-factor solution. The factors were labeled as follows: (a) Comfort With Use of Spanish Language, (b) Comfort With Use of English Language, (c) Enjoyment of Hispanic Cultural Activities, and (d) Enjoyment of American Cultural Activities. The findings support an expansion of the theoretical conceptualization of biculturalism and suggest that within both the heritage and the receiving cultures, comfort with language and enjoyment of other cultural components represent different factors. Measurement invariance analyses revealed stability of the factor structure, as well as some measurement differences, between adolescents and their guardians.
