Acculturation and Sex-Role Attitudes among Mexican Americans: A Longitudinal Analysis

Lamar University

Gordon Mosley

University of Maine at Machias

Following a brief introduction to the acculturation process and Mexican American culture, the authors propose that people of Mexican heritage in the United States tend to assimilate rather than integrate with regard to their sex-role attitudes. The authors also propose that the degree of assimilation will be affected by several factors, including generational status and age. Using longitudinal data, the results of the study indicated that the degree of sex-role assimilation among Mexican Americans was affected by the aforementioned variables.
