This paper based on a series of psychological research methods, for example, literature review, interview and questionnaire. We revised the Hui’s culture alienation scale and the Hui’s acculturation stress scale, which have a favorable reliability and validity. We collected400initial data (effective questionnaire) of Hui nationality in Ningxia province. After the preliminary study of culture alienation and acculturation stress by the method of exploratory factor analysis, we established the formal scale of Hui’s culture alienation and Hui’s acculturation stress. Then, we collected673(effective questionnaire) Hui’s data in Ningxia province, investigated the reliability and validity of these two sacles, and studied the actual situation of Ningxia Hui’s culture alienation. Finally, further explore the the relationship of Hui’s cultural alienation, cultural identity, acculturation stress and coping style. The results are:(1)The revised questionnaire of Hui culture alienation has a favorable homogeneity reliability and split-half reliability,that are0.804and0.787, and its validity accords with the demands of psychometrics.
