Factor analytic findings from culturally specific instruments measuring traditionalism as one aspect of cultural identity are described, based on the self-reports of American Indian children and parents. Findings indicate that traditionalism is a multidimensional construct that can be measured reliably. Results are important because few psychometrically adequate instruments exist to assess either traditionalism or acculturation among American Indian families. Implications for refinements in measuring child and family acculturation and examining the relationship with the social/emotional development of American Indian children are discussed.
基于美国印第安儿童及其父母的自我报告，描述了从测量作为文化认同一个方面的传统主义的特定文化工具中得出的因素分析结果。研究结果表明，传统主义是一个多维结构，可以可靠地进行测量。这些结果很重要，因为几乎没有心理测量上足够的工具来评估美国印第安家庭中的传统主义或文化适应。讨论了在测量儿童和家庭文化适应以及研究与美国印第安儿童社会/情感发展的关系方面进行改进的意义。
