Development of the Frankfurt Youth Acculturation Scale (FRACC-Y)

Resumen

This paper describes the development and psychometric properties of the Frankfurt Youth Acculturation Scale (FRACC-Y), a bidimensional instrument designed to assess orientation to culture of origin, orientation to host culture and acculturation strategy (i.e. assimilation, integration, separation and marginalization). Data were obtained from 292 adolescents in two German cities. Results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the postulated two-factor solution. The first 7-item factor measures orientation toward host culture, the second 5-item factor assesses orientation toward culture of origin. Both subscales yielded adequate internal reliability. Evidence for concurrent and discriminant validity is provided and implications for future research of acculturation in adolescents are discussed.
