Measures of psychological acculturation: a review.
TLDR
The complementary use of emic and etic approaches will enhance the psychometric soundness of acculturation scales and the parallel application of qualitative and quantitative methods may be useful for validity studies.Abstract:
This article reviews conceptual and methodological issues in the measurement of psychological acculturation. The major issues involve the question of dimensionality and the assessment of specific domains of cultural change. Bidimensional scales that cover both overt and internal domains are more informative for the assessment of general levels of psychological acculturation. The validity of such scales must be examined in terms of the actual exposure of individuals to and involvement in each culture, and the influence of sociocultural factors on the course of acculturation. The parallel application of qualitative and quantitative methods may be useful for validity studies. The complementary use of emic and etic approaches will enhance the psychometric soundness of acculturation scales.read more

Defining and measuring acculturation: a systematic review of public health studies with Hispanic populations in the United States.
TL;DR: It is suggested future research should refine existing tools, determine their validity and usefulness across ethnic and subethnic groups, and identify which aspects of acculturation these scales and indices reliably measure.

Assessment of acculturation
TL;DR: Van de Vijver and Leung as discussed by the authors discussed the design of acculturation studies and procedures to assess acculturability in cross-cultural psychology, and pointed out that a careful choice of methodological aspects of a study, such as study and instrument design, can go a long way to enhancing the quality of the acculture studies, and that quality of inferences based on the studies can be bolstered by using adequate, up-to-date methods.
