Results on the Suinn‐Lew Asian Self‐Identity Acculturation Scale (SL‐ASIA; Suinn, Rikard‐Figueroa, Lew, & Vigil, 1987) confirm similarities between Singapore Asians and United States Asians on acculturation factors. The research also compared mean values on the SL‐ASIA scale as a method of adding validity information regarding the scale. Singapore Asians did achieve a score indicative of Asian identity, whereas Asian Americans obtained a mean score indicative of higher Western acculturation.
