Presentamos una nueva escala para medir el estrés de aculturación de los autóctonos ante la inmigración, concretamente sudamericana. Hemos partido del concepto de amenaza percibida tomado de la Teoría Integrada de la Amenaza (Stephan y Stephan, 1996). Un análisis de componentes principales realizado con una muestra de 770 participantes ofrece una estructura compuesta por dos dimensiones: estrés de interacción y estrés por recursos. La escala final está formada por 16 ítems más tres de control de la deseabilidad social. Los análisis de fiabilidad han encontrado unos índices de consistencia interna muy satisfactorios, de.91 para la escala general de estrés de aculturación y de.91 y.88 para las dos subescalas. Los datos obtenidos permiten ofrecer un instrumento de medida que constituye una contribución en el estudio de los procesos de aculturación.
