To compare the acculturation of third generation Japanese Americans with a contemporary Caucasian college student population 275 Japanese Americans (106 males, 169 females), and 346 Caucasian American college students (136 males, 210 females), were given the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, which describes personality in terms of 15 needs. The results indicated that while acculturation has taken place among the Japanese Americans, when their scores are compared with a contemporary Caucasian college sample, the Japanese Americans still express a significantly higher need for order, succorance, and abasement, and a significantly lower need for change and heterosexuality.
为了比较第三代日裔美国人与当代美国白人大学生群体的文化适应情况，研究人员让275名日裔美国人（106名男性，169名女性）和346名美国白人大学生（136名男性，210名女性）填写了爱德华个人偏好量表，该量表从15种需求的角度描述个性。结果表明，虽然日裔美国人中已经发生了文化适应现象，但将他们的得分与当代美国白人大学生样本进行比较时，日裔美国人对秩序、救助和谦卑的需求仍然显著更高，而对变化和异性恋的需求则显著更低。
