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.

当前的研究检验了传统大男子主义对心理健康结局的调节作用。我们假设，大男子主义会增强与传统大男子主义信念（歧视，不良的童年经历[ACE]和对驱逐出境的恐惧）不一致的压力源对抑郁和焦虑结局的影响，但不会增加与全人类（恶劣的工作条件和贫困）。参与者是190名墨西哥移徙农民男性工人。如假设的那样，与低传统的大男子主义相比，认可较高的传统大男子主义与对驱逐出境的恐惧和歧视对抑郁结果的影响更大有关。。大男子主义与ACE的相互作用在预测抑郁或焦虑中并不显着。此外，大男子主义并没有减轻贫困或恶劣的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，并表明在价值不相符的压力源中，大男子主义对抑郁的影响可能会更好地理解。
