Acculturation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents Test

ethnopsychologymigrantssociocultural adaptation

This measure is used to assess cultural adaptation in youth who are navigating migration or other cross-cultural transitions. The Acculturation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents provides a brief self-report profile of how a child or adolescent relates to heritage-culture maintenance and engagement with the receiving culture. It is attributed to John W. Berry and Jean S. Phinney.

The instrument consists of 14 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Responses are used to characterize acculturation orientation patterns (e.g., relative emphasis on maintaining the culture of origin versus adopting aspects of the new cultural context), which may inform clinical formulation and support planning. Interpretation should be integrated with developmental history, language context, and broader psychosocial assessment, and the Acculturation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents is not intended as a standalone diagnostic tool.
