This paper describes the development of the Measurement of Acculturation Strategies for People of African Descent (MASPAD), a bidimensional instrument designed to assess acculturation strategies (i.e., Traditionalist, Integrationist, Assimilationist, and Marginalist). Two studies were conducted to describe the development of the MASPAD and to assess its psychometric properties. Data were collected from 367 African American participants in Atlanta, GA; Columbus, OH; Los Angeles; and New York City, NY. The MASPAD consistently produced scores with adequate reliability and independent raters provided initial evidence for face and content validity. Pearson correlation coefficients supported the purported orthogonality of the MASPAD subscales. The MASPAD was found to be a significant predictor of cultural worldview and values. The bidimensional model of acculturation theorized to exist in the MASPAD was supported with a confirmatory factor analysis on data collected from 831 participants. Future directions for this body of research are discussed.
本文描述了非洲裔美国人文化适应策略测量工具（MASPAD）的开发，这是一种用于评估文化适应策略（即传统主义、融合主义、同化主义和边缘化）的二维工具。进行了两项研究来描述 MASPAD 的开发，并评估其心理测量特性。数据来自佐治亚州亚特兰大、俄亥俄州哥伦布、洛杉矶和纽约市的 367 名非裔美国人。MASPAD 始终产生具有足够可靠性的分数，独立评分者提供了初步的表面和内容效度证据。皮尔逊相关系数支持 MASPAD 分量表的正交性假设。MASPAD 被发现是文化世界观和价值观的重要预测因素。在从 831 名参与者那里收集的数据上进行验证性因子分析，支持了 MASPAD 中存在的二维文化适应理论模型。讨论了这一研究领域的未来方向。
