Many immigrants experience acculturation stress, which arises from the difficulties and conflicts immigrants face as they adjust to a new culture. Without the support of prevention and intervention services, acculturation stress can result in an increased risk for aggressive behavior and mental health problems. Entre Dos Mundos/Between Two Worlds is an acculturation-based intervention that uses psychodrama, sociodrama, and sociometric techniques to decrease acculturation stress among Latino immigrant adolescents and their parents. An example of an Entre Dos Mundos group session presented in this article illustrates the application of psychodrama and sociometric techniques and discusses their utility in decreasing acculturation stress and promoting biculturalism.

Preliminary Study

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: 150%;">Two studies are presented with the purpose of analyzing outgroup perception of 471 native and 333 Latino immigrant adolescents in Madrid city and differences regarding age and level of outgroup contact. In order to evaluate outgroup perception, a measure was created using descriptions provided by adolescents with similar characteristics during focus groups conducted in a preliminary study. The final measure shows similar structure and appropriate psychometric properties for both participant groups and it evaluates total outgroup perception and its positive and negative components. In line with previous research, Latino adolescents show a more positive outgroup image than the Spaniards; they also express higher scores in both positive and negative outgroup perception. Those adolescents with higher level of outgroup contact show higher scores in total and positive outgroup image, but effects on negative outgroup image differ with group status. Results in relation to age are not concluding. This study contributes to a better understanding of intergroup perception during adolescence, a developmental period in which this research is still limited in Spain.</p>

Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis

We examined the cross-cultural equivalence of a widely used instrument that assesses perceived parental rearing, the EMBU-C, among native Dutch and immigrant adolescents living in The Netherlands. The results of a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the factor structure of the EMBU-C, consisting of three latent factors (Warmth, Rejection, and Overprotection), and reliabilities of these scales are similar in both samples. These findings lend further support for the factorial and construct validity of this instrument. The comparison of perceived child rearing between native Dutch and immigrant adolescents showed cultural differences in only one of the assessed dimensions: Immigrant adolescents perceive their parents as more overprotective than do Dutch adolescents.
