Factor Structure and Invariance of the Orthogonal Cultural Identification Scale among American Indian and Mexican American Youth
Some theories and measures of cultural identification are based on a unidimensional continuum, requiring that, as identification with one culture increases, identification with another decreases. Others, such as multicultural theories, allow high identification with different cultures but rarely incorporate low identification. Orthogonal cultural identification theory specifies that identification with one culture can be independent of identifica…
The effect of school dropout rates on estimates of adolescent substance use among three racial/ethnic groups
OBJECTIVES: This study examined, across three racial/ethnic groups, how the inclusion of data on drug use of dropouts can alter estimates of adolescent drug use rates. METHODS: Self-report rates of lifetime prevalence and use in the previous 30 days were obtained from Mexican American, White non-Hispanic, and Native American student (n = 738) and dropouts (n = 774). Rates for the age cohort (students and dropouts) were estimated with a weighted c…
Orthogonal Cultural Identification
This paper diagrams and discusses orthogonal cultural identification theory, proposing that cultural identification is developed and maintained through complex interactions and negotiations between the culture and the person. When the individual meets cultural requirements, the culture provides rewards that match cultural needs and reinforce cultural identification. ‘Strong identification with one culture does not prevent identification with anot…
Orthogonal Cultural Identification Theory
A theory of cultural identification is presented indicating that identification with different cultures is orthogonal. Instead of cultures being placed at opposite ends of a continuum, cultural identification dimensions are independent of each other, and increasing identification with one culture does not require decreasing identification with another. Studies of Native-American and Mexican-American youth show that: (1) identification with Anglo …
Adolescent drug use
American Indian youth and drugs, 1976-87
Continuing surveillance of drug use among American Indian adolescents living on reservations shows them to have rates of use higher than those of their non-Indian counterparts. Marijuana use is particularly high among Indian students. By the 7th grade a significant number of Indian youth have tried drugs, particularly marijuana and alcohol, and there are few significant differences by gender. Based on observed patterns of use, intervention strate…
Peer cluster theory, socialization characteristics, and adolescent drug use
Drug Use by Small Town Mexican American Youth
While the quality of drug use data for youth of Spanish origin is improving, there is still inadequate information about Mexican American youth in rural areas of the Southwest. A pilot study is presented in which the youth of a small town in the Southwest were surveyed regarding their drug and alcohol use. Mexican American and Anglo youth within that sample are compared on drug use variables and differences by gender are examined. Further compari…

Measurement of Stimulus-Specific Anxiety
284 Ss were administered an experimental scale which attempts to measure the anxiety-arousing properties of specific stimulus situations. Three concepts, preselected for assumed differences in stimulus properties, -were discriminated. It was concluded that the scale may be used to explore the prediction of avoidance behaviors in individuals

The Effect of Forcing Response on the Semantic Differential
Non-Linearity of Self-Concept Discrepancy—The Value Dimension
25 adolescent behavior-problem females were compared in terms of perceived self-ideal discrepancy with 12 female Ss who had no history of behavior problems. The mean discrepancy scores of the two groups were not different; however, greater variability was found for Ss with behavior problems. Some Ss with behavior problems rated the self higher than the ideal self. Thus, the relationship of self-ideal discrepancies to disturbance may be curvilinea…

Popular Medical Beliefs and Attitude Toward Mental Illness in Peru
In a survey of attitudes of mental hospital personnel in Lima, Peru by Stein and Oetting, professional psychiatric personnel tended to have humanistic attitudes, similar to those of their North American and British counterparts. The hospital attendants or aides seemed to derive their attitude structure more directly from their cultural milieu, expressing custodial attitudes that tended to be congruent with Peruvian value systems. The research was…
The Treatment of Interpersonal Relationships in Psychotherapy as a Function of Religious Socialization
Z ENTNER 1 has commented on the differences in personal identification of the deity between Catholic and Protestant groups. In essence he has stated that, whereas the Protestant has, as a general rule, only one major figure to identify with (either God or Christ), the Catholic has a large number of figures, all of whom play a different role in their inter-relationship with the individual. These figurcs are identified as having different character…
