LEGA, Leonor  y  PROCEL, Sandra. Acculturation and Generational Differences in the Irrational Beliefs about Traditional Female Roles in Ecuadorian Mothers and Daughters Living in Ecuador and the United States. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.1, pp.35-40. ISSN 0121-5469.

Chronological age as the central criterion in the definition of generational differences in women's beliefs about traditional female roles has been questioned on the basis of the disappearance of said differences as a result of the shared bicultural experience of immigrant Colombian mothers and daughters living in the United States. This study explores the degree to which these results may be generalized to other"Hispanics" in the US, by comparing a sample of Ecuadorian women living in Riobamba, Ecuador, to a sample of Ecuadorian women living in New Jersey, USA (50 mother-daughter pairs in each sample). Results of post hoc comparisons confirm equivalency to those previously reported in Colombian women, in the sense that mother-daughter differences disappear in those women residing in the USA but not in those residing in Ecuador.

Palabras clave : generation; acculturation; gender; irrational thinking; Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy; O'Kelly Women's Belief Scales.
