| Abstract | A study conducted during the summer of 1969 researched the concept of culture with regard to the acculturation process of Spanish Americans. The Spanish Americans of north-central New Mexico were compared with the Anglo Americans living within that region. Data were collected on 799 adults from the 2 groups by means of personal interviews. Factor analysis identified a factor labeled the modern-traditional dimension which consisted of 6 value orientations: activism-fatalism, risk-taking, time, integration with family, preference for secondary social relations, and superstition. Analysis of variance was used to explore the relationship of the modernism score to various reference group characteristics. This analysis elaborated the nature of modernism and allowed assessment of changes taking place among various subgroups. Findings showed that acculturation is taking place, but Spanish Americans are not blending completely. Regression analysis indicated that, when other relevant factors are held constant, there are significant income differences between Spanish and Anglo household heads. (NQ) |
