A Greek Family Values questionnaire along with the Greek-American Accultura
tion Scale was administered to 338 Greek-American subjects. Based on respon
ses to the Greek-American Acculturation Scale, subjects were placed into Tr
aditional and Acculturated groups. The 64 items of the Family Values Scale
were factor analyzed and a scree analysis produced four interpretable facto
rs. Subjects in both the Traditional and the Acculturated groups tended to
agree with items comprising the factors' Traditional Values and Family Hono
r. The groups tended to differ on most items comprising the Hierarchical Fa
mily Values factor and on some items comprising the Parental Control factor
. The Acculturated subjects tended to reject the constructs rooted in Greek
family values more than the traditional subjects, while women tended to be
more rejecting of the values than were men. Evidence presented here also s
uggests that the Greek-American Acculturation Scale has sufficient validity
and reliability to be used by researchers as an accurate measure of Greek-
American acculturation.
