Psychological Acculturation Scale (PAS)

The Psychological Acculturation Scale (PAS) assesses individuals' psychological responses to differing cultural contexts. It is a self-report measure of feelings of belonging and emotional attachment to other people and cultures.

In RADAR, an adapted, Dutch version of the Psychological Acculturation Scale was used. The feelings of belonging and emotional attachment to Dutch and Moroccon people and cultures were measured through the Dutch Psychological Acculturation Scale (6 items) and the Moroccan Psychological Acculturation Scale (6 items).
