The current study was conducted to ascertain the validity of two commonly used markers of acculturation (nativity and years in the receiving culture) in an enclave context. Relationships between these markers and a bidimensional measure of acculturation were examined in a convenience sample of Hispanic immigrant adolescents and their caregivers in Miami. Nativity was examined using adolescent-reported data; approximately half of the youth were U.S.-born and half foreign-born, but all of the caregivers were foreign-born. Years in the receiving culture was examined using both adolescent and caregiver data. Results indicated that nativity was significantly associated with adoption of receiving-culture practices, with a small to moderate effect size. Years in the receiving culture was significantly associated with adoption of receiving-culture practices only for adolescent girls and for female caregivers who immigrated as youth. Neither nativity nor years in the receiving culture explained even moderate amounts of variance in retention or loss of culture-of-origin practices.
本研究旨在确定在飞地环境中两种常用的文化适应指标（出生地和在接受文化中的居住年限）的有效性。在迈阿密的西班牙裔移民青少年及其照顾者的便利样本中，研究了这些指标与文化适应的二维测量之间的关系。使用青少年报告的数据来考察出生地；大约一半的青少年是在美国出生的，另一半是外国出生的，但所有照顾者都是外国出生的。使用青少年和照顾者的数据来考察在接受文化中的居住年限。结果表明，出生地与接受文化习俗的采用显著相关，效应量小到中等。仅对于青春期女孩和年轻时移民的女性照顾者而言，在接受文化中的居住年限与接受文化习俗的采用显著相关。出生地和在接受文化中的居住年限均未解释原籍文化习俗保留或丧失方面哪怕是中等程度的差异。
