| Summary: | Catholicism and a parochial school education have often been cited among the causes for the slow rate of assimilation attributed to Mexican Americans. In order to test these assumptions a study was conducted in San Antonio, Texas, during the spring of 1973. Using Gordon's seven subtypes of assimilation as a theoretical framework, a seven-part questionnaire was devised, pretested, and later administered to eighth-grade students. The sample was composed of 405 Mexican Americans attending nine public and nine parochial schools. The resulting data not only failed to substantiate the assumptions but also indicated that parochial school students were significantly more assimilated in five of the seven subtypes of assimilation. |
