Hispanicism: Sum items 1-5‚ 11-17‚ and the reverse weights of items 25-33
The biculturalism scale is obtained by
Biculturalism score = Hispanicism score – Americanism score
Scores close to zero indicate biculturalism while scores away from zero indicate monoculturalism. A positive difference indicates monoculturalism inthe Hispanic direction while a negative difference indicates monoculturalism in the American direction.
The cultural involvement score is obtained by adding the Hispanicism and Americanism score; a high score indicates cultural involvement while a low score indicates cultural marginality.
