TL;DR: This paper studied the effects of acculturation on attitudinal familism in 452 Hispanics compared to 227 white non-Hispanics, and found that despite differences in the national origin of Hispanics, Mexican-, Central-and Cuban-Americans reported similar attitudes toward the family indicating that family is a core characteristic in the Hispanic culture.
Abstract: This investigation studied the effects of acculturation on attitudinal familism in 452 Hispanics compared to 227 white nonHispanics. Despite differences in the national origin of Hispanics, Mexican-, Central -and Cuban-Americans reported similar attitudes toward the family indicating that familism is a core characteristic in the Hispanic culture. Three basic dimensions of familism were found: Familial obligations, perceived support from the family and family as referents. The high level of perceived family support, invariable despite changes in acculturation, is the most essential dimension of Hispanic familism. Familial obligations and the perception of the family as referents appear to diminish with the level of acculturation, but the perception of family support doesn't change. Although these two dimensions of familism decrease concurrently with the level of acculturation, the attitudes of persons with high levels of acculturation are more familistic than those of white nonHispanics.
