Table 3.

Construct validity for the test scores from MABS across reporters for bicultural comfort, bicultural facility, bicultural advantages, and overall biculturalism. Construct validity measures were used as predictors of the latent variables of bicultural comfort, bicultural facility, bicultural advantages, and overall biculturalism. For the language items, English (use and pressures), Spanish (use and pressures), and the interaction between English and Spanish (use and pressures) were simultaneously entered into the model. The numbers reported are unstandardized path coefficients.
