Depression and Acculturation in Mexican-American Women
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between depression and acculturation in Mexican-American women. For this purpose, two samples of 67 women from social service agencies in Kansas City and 57 college women from South Texas were examined. Pearson product-moment correlations of scores on depression and acculturation suggested a nonsignificant association (–.02) for the South Texas sample, but a low negative significant relationship (–.29) for the Kansas City group.
