WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Acculturation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents Test - Description and methodology of the test

ethnopsychology
migrants
sociocultural adaptation

Young people with a migrant background can use this assessment to examine everyday adaptation across a heritage culture and a host society. The Acculturation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents Test connects language, friendships, media, humor, and preferences about living in each setting to a profile of host-society involvement and heritage-culture maintenance. As an adolescent acculturation assessment, it offers a structured way to consider how cultural connections are maintained or developed.

What This Assessment Explores

The questionnaire is intended for children and adolescents with a migrant background. Items ask about language, media, contacts, friendships, humor, and preferences for living in a heritage setting and the host society.

These topics represent two dimensions. Host-society involvement concerns engagement with and acceptance of the environment’s norms, customs, and language. Maintenance of the heritage cultural environment concerns preserving heritage traditions, language, customs, and surroundings. This acculturation questionnaire for children places adaptation alongside continuity.

The displayed scales are:

  • Host Society Cultural Involvement (-2-2) measures host-society engagement and acceptance: higher scores indicate stronger engagement and acceptance, lower scores indicate integration difficulties; Low engagement (-2-0), Moderate engagement (0-2), and High engagement (2-2).
  • Maintenance of Heritage Cultural Environment (-2-2) measures heritage preservation: higher scores indicate stronger preservation, lower scores indicate a weakened connection; Low preservation (-2--0.01), Moderate preservation (0-0), and High preservation (0.01-2).

Methodology and Evidence Base

Responses use frequency choices from Never to Always and graded agreement options. Paired themes contrast heritage and host-society language, media, online communication, friendships, living preferences, and humor, so the profile reflects ordinary cultural participation across settings.

Two dimension scores are displayed. Responses are combined into these scores; the questionnaire specifies no item weighting, recoding, standardization, or population norms. Read the pattern as a profile, not a pass-or-fail grade or cultural ranking.

The questionnaire is conceptually consistent with acculturation dimensions in a related programme edited by Khukhlaev, Chibisova, and Gritsenko; that volume is related programme evidence, not this questionnaire’s source instrument. Berry, Phinney, Sam, and Vedder provide a compatible theoretical context. Gritsenko and colleagues’ study reports links between sociocultural adaptation and well-being; validation of this questionnaire remains unestablished.

As a cultural adaptation questionnaire, it is best interpreted alongside the respondent’s current language confidence, relationships, opportunities, and recent experiences. Self-report may shift with context and willingness to disclose; it has no clinical cutoffs, so the profile supports structured reflection rather than a definitive judgment about adaptation.
