I am going to measure acculturation for Iraqi immigrants in the U.S.
Hello Mohammed
I was wondering if there was anything appropriate mentioned in this paper:
Wallace, P. M., Pomery, E. A., Latimer, A. E., Martinez, J. L., & Salovey, P. (2009). A review of acculturation measures and their utility in studies promoting Latino health. Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences.

Very best wishes with your PhD,

Thanks Mary for this article. In fact, the tool in this article is for Hispanic population. I am looking for an acculturation tool for Arab or Mediterranean population because Iraqis are a part of them.
Hello Mohammed,
I could not see anything specific to Iraq, but are these of any help:
Barry, D. T. (2005). Measuring acculturation among male Arab immigrants in the United States: An exploratory study. Journal of Immigrant Health, 7(3), 179-184.

These relates to a certain condition, but might have something relevant; a secure Internet form was used:
Amer, M. M. (2005). Arab American mental health in the post September 11 era: Acculturation, stress, and coping (Doctoral dissertation, University of Toledo).

These are by the same author:

I'm not sure whether there is any measure involved in these studies:
