这项研究评估了墨西哥裔美国人在青春期早期和成年期的文化联系价值观的属性。本文讨论了从焦点小组提供的定性数据中得出的项目，其中讨论了墨西哥裔美国人（青少年、母亲和父亲）对关键价值观的看法。焦点小组和初步项目细化产生了包含 9 个子量表的 50 项墨西哥裔美国人文化价值观量表（MACVS；青少年和成人相同）。对先前发表的两项大型墨西哥裔美国青少年、母亲和父亲抽样研究的数据进行分析，提供了预期的两个相关高阶因子结构、可靠性和 MACVS 子量表的构建有效性的证据，作为经常与墨西哥/墨西哥裔美国文化相关的价值观指标。讨论了该措施在纵向研究和解决有关双重文化适应的一些重要理论问题中的效用。
This research evaluates the properties of a measure of culturally linked values of Mexican Americans in early adolescence and adulthood. The article discusses the items derived from qualitative data provided by focus groups in which Mexican Americans' (adolescents, mothers, and fathers) perceptions of key values were discussed. The focus groups and a preliminary item refinement result in the 50-item Mexican American Cultural Values Scale (MACVS; identical for adolescents and adults) that includes 9 subscales. Analyses of data from two large previously published studies sampling Mexican American adolescents, mothers, and fathers provide evidence of the expected two correlated higher order factor structures, reliability, and construct validity of the subscales of the MACVS as indicators of values that are frequently associated with Mexican/Mexican American culture. The utility of this measure for use in longitudinal research and in resolving some important theoretical questions regarding dual cultural adaptation is discussed.
