Heterogeneity of Latina/os' acculturative experiences in the National Latino and Asian American Study: a latent profile analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Latina/os have heterogeneous experiences living in the United States. Discrimination, family context, and neighborhood environment are more related to varying experiences as opposed to traditional measures of acculturation and enculturation. Future research should characterize Latina/o heterogeneity using these experiences rather than strictly by observed demographics, such as heritage or generational status.
