Abstract

The present study examines the differences among Latino families who are in the low, bicultural, and high acculturation stages on measures of family cohesion, adaptability, and environment. Preliminary results revealed a significant difference in age of migration among the low acculturation and the bicultural and high acculturation groups. Therefore, a multiple analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) to control for age of migration was conducted. The results revealed significant differences among the groups on family cohesion, adaptability, and some indices of family environment. The implications for family counselors follow the recommendations for further research about acculturation’s influence on the Latino family.
