年龄差异进行了评估的概念模型，试图解释文化适应如何影响墨西哥裔美国人的心理健康。这些数据来自全国859名墨西哥人的概率样本。据推测，低文化适应造成财务压力。此外，低文化适应和经济压力反过来又会削弱个人控制感和自尊。最后，减少控制感和低自尊被假设对心理健康产生负面影响。当所有年龄段的受访者的数据进行评估，实证支持所有的假设，除了文化适应和财务压力之间的联系。然而，模型中几乎没有年龄差异。作者的结论是，年长的墨西哥裔美国人可能不会更容易受到与文化适应相关的压力。
Age differences were assessed in a conceptual model that seeks to explain how acculturation affects psychological well-being among Mexican Americans. The data were from a national probability sample of 859 persons of Mexican decent. It was hypothesized that low acculturation creates financial stress. Moreover, low acculturation and financial stress were in turn predicted to erode feelings of personal control and self-esteem. Finally, diminished feelings of control and low self-esteem were hypothesized to exert a negative impact on psychological well-being. When data from respondents of all ages was assessed, empirical support was found for all of the hypotheses except the linkage between acculturation and financial stress. However, few age differences emerged in the model. The authors conclude that older Mexican Americans may not be more vulnerable to the stressors associated with acculturation.
