Isi artikel

This article conceptualizes acculturation from a sociocultural theoretical framework. Drawing on data from a 2-year ethnographic study of immigrant families, specifically their beliefs and practices related to discipline, the authors show that acculturation is a complex, dynamic, and interactive process that cannot be easily measured through typical acculturation scales. Indeed, this study shows that families actively choose and negotiate the U.S. practices they adopt and that children are active agents in this process.
