Abstract
This study examined the relationship of machismo
scores and the willingness of people in Hispanic/Latino communities
to accept medical treatment. Participants were asked
to complete a survey asking them many questions about cultural
ideals and medical-care habits to assign them a machismo score.
Ethnicity was not related to higher machismo scores. Men across
all cultures had higher machismo scores than women across all
cultures. A relationship was found between machismo score and
pain threshold necessary to take medication, but could not be
correlated with any specific ethnicity. The results of this study are
likely a result of the fact that many of the participants were born
in America or lived in the United States for many years and had
adapted to the culture to a point where machismo wasn’t a major
factor. This essay was written for Prof. Miller’s SPA 251 class.
