Abstract: This study investigated the validity of the Latina Values Scale as an instrument to measure marianismo. The results indicate the LVS is statistically significant demonstrating its high validity and reliability in capturing the cultural psychological construct of marianismo. In addition, this study examined the relationships between marianismo and self-silencing behavior (as measured by the STSS) and a number of other variables: education (as measured by years of education), level of acculturation (as measured by the MSAS), SES (as measured by annual income), as well as the effect income has on conflict (as measured by the LVS conflict sub-scale). The results were non-significant suggesting that marianismo is a psychological state so deeply imbedded in the Latinas' experience that it persists across educational, acculturation and economic levels.
