本研究考察了墨西哥裔美国人文化适应评定量表(ARSMA-II)的信度和效度，并以墨西哥裔美国儿童为样本：292名来自文化多元的西南中等城市的中学生和116名文化同质的农村小学三至五年级的学生。结果为这一文化适应测量方法在两个年龄段的可靠性和有效性提供了证据。因子分析支持Cuella内部一致性(CronbachsAlpha)报告的两个量表结构，对两个样本都是足够的。文化适应状态的分布与样本群体之间的显著关联证明了效度。学生选择的形式语言(英语或西班牙语)与文化适应状况相关。
This study investigated the reliability and validity of the Brief Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II (ARSMA-II) using two samples of Mexican American children: 292 middle school students from a mid-sized culturally diverse southwestern city, and 116 third-through fifth graders in culturally homogeneous rural elementary schools. Results provided evidence of the reliability and validity of this measure of acculturation for both age levels. Factor analysis supported the two-scale structure reported by Cuellar Internal consistency (Cronbachs alpha) was adequate for both samples. Validity was demonstrated by the significant association between the distribution of acculturation status and sample group. Language of form (English or Spanish) selected by the student was correlated with acculturation status.
