Abstract
To compare the acculturation of third generation Japanese Americans with a contemporary Caucasian college student population 275 Japanese Americans (106 males, 169 females), and 346 Caucasian American college students (136 males, 210 females), were given the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, which describes personality in terms of 15 needs. The results indicated that while acculturation has taken place among the Japanese Americans, when their scores are compared with a contemporary Caucasian college sample, the Japanese Americans still express a significantly higher need for order, succorance, and abasement, and a significantly lower need for change and heterosexuality.Keywords
