Abstract:
Objective: Examine the cultural adherence and the efficiency of inhibition and flexibility of a group of irregular migrants in transit through Sonora, Mexico. Design: Ex post facto exploratory with a non-probabilistic sample. Instruments: Sociodemographic Interview; Two-Dimensional Acculturation Scale and a Stroop-type test. Sample: 135 irregular migrants with an age of M=33.33 years; 85 men and 50 women; 75 Mexicans and 60 foreigners and an education of M=7.1 years. Results: There was high adherence towards the Hispanic Area and low adherence towards the Non-Hispanic Area. There were no differences in the inhibition indicators, however, in the flexibility indicators, differences were found by age groups, gender, place of origin and whether they made a travel plan. Concussions: The results are from irregular migrants in transit. More studies are needed to compare populations that are in different phases of migration.
