Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics  

Definition

  • The Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH) is one of the most frequently used acculturation scales in research with Latinos. The SASH was developed in 1987 after lengthy analysis of the responses of 363 Hispanics (e.g., Cubans, Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Central Americans) and 228 Caucasians to questions dealing with ethnic contact patterns, proficiency and preference of language use, preferred ethnicity in social relations, and characteristics of media use.
