Summary:

Although many researchers agree on a general definition of acculturation, the conceptualization and measurement of acculturation remain controversial. To address these issues, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) sponsored a conference that brought together scholars who work to define and develop assessments of acculturation, and who study the impact of acculturation on families. The goals of the conference were to evaluate both the status of acculturation as a scientific construct and the roles of acculturation in parenting and human development, and the goal of this volume is to advance the state of the art.

Part I of this volume previews issues in acculturation and parent-child relationships. Contributors in Part II turn their attention to the central issues of measurement in acculturation. The focus in Part III becomes more concrete, as contributors take up the issues of development and acculturation among specific populations and cultures. Finally, Part IV provides a broad overview of the complexity of the issues involved in this area of study, and the diversity of perspectives and research traditions existing in this growing field of scholarship, and identifies the potentially significant issues and topics such as the content of acculturation, context of acculturation, and policy and applications.
