Evaluation of acculturation research

  • There is often a language problem in giving tests to immigrants.  It is not only a question of whether they understand the vocabulary of the test but how they interpret the questions.
  • When measuring “acculturation,” psychologists make assumptions about what healthy acculturation looks like.
  • There are many variables that may influence the experience of migrants to a new culture.  These include age of migration, length of residency, education, sexual orientation, religion, class and trauma experienced prior to arrival in the new culture.  This makes it difficult to find representative samples that can be used to generate theory about the acculturation experience.
  • There are several ethical consideration in research on acculturation. It is important that in any research the participants are aware of their rights as participants.  This includes the right to informed consent, anonymity and to withdraw from the study.
