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.
