The development of a self-report measure of acculturation in Greek-Americans began with item construction in three systematic steps. First, four first-generation Greek-American judges who were familiar with both Greek-American and Anglo-American cultures were asked to generate separate lists of cultural beliefs and practices along seven dimensions on which Anglo-Americans and Greek-Americans differ. Second, the most commonly listed beliefs and practices identified by the judges were included in a pilot inventory. Here, three Greek-American judges rated the accuracy of items as measures of Greek-American acculturation. Third, a 44-item revised inventory of items that had the highest mean ratings (content validation) showed good construct and concurrent validity among Greek-Americans
