Abstract
Studies investigating the acculturation of Hispanic-Americans often overlook socioeconomic status (SES) as an important correlate with acculturation. This study examined the relationship between acculturation and SES among a group of Mexican-American college students. A significant positive relationship was found between acculturation and SES even when SES was inferred via different indicators. The importance of accounting for SES when examining acculturation is discussed.Keywords
