Acculturation consists of multiple domains (i.e., cultural practices, identifications, and values). However, less is known about how acculturation processes influence each other across multiple domains of acculturation. This study was designed to investigate transition patterns of acculturative processes within and across domains in a sample of 302 recent-immigrant Hispanic adolescents, M (SD) = 14.51 years (0.88) at baseline; male = 53%). Adolescents were assessed six times over a 3-year period. Latent profile analyses identified two profiles (high [or increasing] vs. low) for each domain at each timepoint. We found largely stable transition patterns in each domain over six timepoints. Importantly, sequential associations among profiles in acculturation domains were also detected. Implication for acculturation theory and research are discussed.
文化适应由多个领域（即文化实践、认同和价值观）组成。然而，对于文化适应过程如何在多个文化适应领域相互影响，我们知之甚少。本研究旨在调查 302 名最近移民的西班牙裔青少年样本中文化适应过程在各领域内和跨领域的转变模式，M（SD）= 14.51 岁（0.88）基线；男性= 53%）。青少年在 3 年内接受了 6 次评估。潜在剖面分析在每个时间点为每个领域确定了两个剖面（高[或增加]与低）。我们发现，在六个时间点上，每个领域的转变模式基本稳定。重要的是，还检测到文化适应领域中剖面之间的顺序关联。讨论了对文化适应理论和研究的启示。
