Cross validation of the African American Acculturation Scale and African American Acculturation Scale-Revised

The following study was conducted using a sample of African American college students who were administered the African American Acculturation Scale (Klonoff & Landrine, 1994). The results of the scale were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. Variables loadings were assessed, and secondary item analysis was conducted on the data. After the secondary analysis was performed, the dataset was analyzed again using only the items included in the African American Acculturation Scale-Revised (AAAS-R; Klonoff & Landrine, 2000).
