The acculturation gap distress hypothesis among high-risk Mexican families

Article Abstract:

The acculturation gap distress hypothesis were tested by examining whether parent-adolescent acculturation gaps were associated with greater conflict and youth conduct problems among 260 high risk Mexican American families. The result aroused the assumption that more rapid acculturation of adolescents to American culture leads to distress in minority families.
