The relations among language acculturation, biculturality and psychological adjustment were studies in a sample of 54 young mainland puerto rican mothers. Participants were interviewed in the language of their choice concerning their level of symptomatology (i. e. depression, anxiety, somatization, hostility, interpersonal sensitivity), language acculturation, monocultural involvement (assessed by separate adherence to american and puerto rican cultural values), and dual cultural involvement (assessed by a combination of cultural values). Results indicated that biculturality significantly ad bilingualism were both significantly related to psychological adjustment, linguistic balance showed a stronger association with adjustment than biculturality. Findings are disscussed in light of the family, cultural and developmental context in which young mainland puerto rican mothers are embedded.
