Bicultural Involvement Questionnaire (BIQ)

The BIQ (Guo, Suarez-Morales, Schwartz, & Szapocznik, 2009; Szapocznik, Kurtines, & Fernandez, 1980) is designed to measure cultural practices with 24-items, 12 of which assess American practices (e.g., speaking English, eating American food, associating with American friends), and 12 of which assess Hispanic practices (e.g., speaking Spanish, eating Hispanic food, associating with Hispanic friends). The BIQ uses a 5-point Likert scale (1=not at all, 5=very much), and is available in both English and Spanish translations.
