Abstract

The current study examines the moderating role of traditional machismo on mental health outcomes. We hypothesized that machismo would enhance the effects of stressors that are incongruent with traditional machismo beliefs (discrimination, adverse childhood experiences [ACEs], and fear of deportation) on depression and anxiety outcomes but would not enhance stressors that are congruent (harsh working conditions and poverty) on depression and anxiety. Participants were 190 male Mexican migrant farmworkers. As hypothesized, endorsing high traditional machismo was associated with stronger effects of fear of deportation and discrimination on depression outcomes compared with low traditional machismo. The interaction of machismo and ACEs was not significant in predicting depression or anxiety. Moreover, machismo did not moderate the effects of poverty or harsh working conditions on depression or anxiety outcomes. Results partially supported our hypotheses and suggested that the effect of machismo on depression may be better understood in the context of value-incongruent stressors.
传统大男子主义与性别角色应变理论在墨西哥农民工中的检验
目前的研究考察了传统大男子主义对心理健康结果的调节作用。我们假设大男子主义会增强与传统大男子主义信念不一致的压力源(歧视、不良童年经历和害怕被驱逐)对抑郁和焦虑结果的影响,但不会增强与传统大男子主义信念一致的压力源(恶劣工作条件和贫困)对抑郁和焦虑结果的影响。参与者为190名墨西哥男性移民农场工人。正如假设的那样,与低传统大男子主义相比,支持高传统大男子主义与对驱逐出境和歧视的恐惧对抑郁结果的影响更大。大男子主义与ace的交互作用在预测抑郁或焦虑方面无显著意义。此外,大男子主义并没有缓和贫困或恶劣工作条件对抑郁或焦虑结果的影响。结果部分支持了我们的假设,并表明在价值不一致的压力源背景下,大男子主义对抑郁的影响可能会得到更好的理解。
