Development and validation of the acculturation discrepancy scale for youth of Korean descent in Japan (ADS-KJ).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to develop and validate the Acculturation Discrepancy Scale for Youth of Korean Descent in Japan (ADS-KJ). The scale measures youths’ subjective perceptions of intergenerational cultural gaps, that lead to parent–child acculturation discrepancies.
methodsBased on interview data and a review of previous studies, an item pool was created and administered via questionnaire surveys to 278 youths of Korean descent in Japan and 110 Japanese youths. The scale’s structural validity, construct validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion-related validity were examined.
resultsConsequently, it was developed as a 21-item, two-factor scale comprising Identity Discrepancy and Values Discrepancy. ADS-KJ demonstrated generally good reliability and validity, though some areas relating to its criterion-related validity need further examination.
conclusionAs a culturally sensitive assessment tool, ADS-KJ shows potential to capture youths’ subjective perceptions of parent–child acculturation discrepancies in families of Korean descent in Japan. Thus, it can guide and support Korean descent youth in Japan’s growing immigrant society.
