“…These findings could also be interpreted from the perspective of acculturation. The process of acculturation suggests that individuals who migrate, or those whose family has migrated and are raised in a culture different than the dominant culture, will create hybrid cultures from a melding of the dominant and their own culture (Archuleta, ; Cabassa, ). The study of acculturation among Hispanics and its effect on various forms of behaviors (e.g., health) has received continued focus throughout the years, but with limited attention to environmental issues (Johnson, ).…”

Objectives. This study is aimed at examining energy-related behavioral intention among Hispanics in the United States. It examines the role of nationality and geographic location, as well as informational and attitudinal factors. Method. The study used survey data from the University of Texas at Austin Energy Poll. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and regressions analysis. Results. Results show that Hispanics overall in the West had higher levels of intention to save energy than those in any other region, while there is no clear pattern indicating that intentions to save energy were linked to Hispanics' ethnic groups. Besides information dissemination and various measures of environmental concern, belief and interest were strongly related to energy-related behavioral intentions. Conclusions. Findings contribute to the understanding of Hispanics' energy behaviors, concluding that environmentalism and information dissemination are important predictors of behavioral intention within the Hispanic population.

“…In doing so, it provides a way to capture the social structure surrounding a person and understand its relationship to experiences with cultural change. In the current study, Latinxs are embedded in a community in which they have experienced significant levels of discrimination (Archuleta, 2012) likely influencing the composition of their networks and sought sources for support. The relationships developed and represented here likely differ for those that may be strained and elicit pressure to change.…”

“…Doucerain et al (2015) observed that higher levels of interconnectedness across second language networks promoted greater language competence, which served as a protective factor against acculturative stress. For Latinxs, particularly first and second generations, English use networks (i.e., second language use networks) may serve as a protective factor against negative experiences such as discrimination (Archuleta, 2012). Networks likely occupy several roles throughout the acculturation process that range from providing support to exposing individuals to potential pressures to change (Berry & Hou, 2017; Ng et al, 2017).…”

Acculturation measures focus on the perceived composition of a person's social networks as a characteristic of cultural change but have not focused on specific social relationships as sources of evaluation. The current study explores network‐derived indicators of acculturation and determines the viability of network acculturation as a related, but distinct, construct from enculturation. A first‐order ego network electronic survey design was used to gather social network and traditional survey data from a sample of college‐enrolled Latinxs using name generator and name interpreter questions. Findings indicate low but statistically significant correlations between network indicators of acculturation and enculturation as hypothesized. No group differences in network acculturation were observed between generational statuses despite demonstrated differences in psychological enculturation. The low but statistically significant relationships between enculturation and network acculturation suggest conceptually related but distinct indicators of acculturation. Latinx homophily was the strongest predictor of enculturation, revealing the importance of network characteristics.

“…(Motti-Stefanidi et al, 2008). In general, researchers believe that acculturation has an impact on behavior and thinking that develops in the community (Archuleta, 2012;Cort, 2010;du Preez & Govender, 2020;Johnson, 1996;Levinson & Rodebaugh, 2013;Makarova et al, 2019;Ortin et al, 2018;Reynolds et al, 2012).…”

The data obtained were then analyzed using the theory of acculturation and Islamic religious perspective. The findings prove that the practice of customary childbirth carried out by the perpetrator is a cultural acculturation process. The practice of child birth is at least one way in the context of maximum efforts so that the baby can survive and develop into a pious child
