Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate how Latino men’s conceptions of masculinities influenced their attitudes and behaviors during the transition from community colleges to 4-year institutions. Method: A phenomenological approach was used to explore the lived experiences of 34 Latino men across Texas, California, and Florida. Each participant was interviewed twice; all data were recorded, transcribed, and coded for themes. Results: Findings suggest that, although prior conceptions of masculinities can sometimes provide positive tools during transfer, these conceptions also cause challenges as men negotiate incongruences between their masculine identity and what is required to succeed in college. Participation in on-campus men’s groups and student organizations can help Latino students navigate these incongruences and negotiate their own intersectional identities and conceptualizations of masculinities in light of their new environment. Contributions: This study demonstrates that Latino men continue to face challenges related to masculinities and identity conflicts during the community college to 4-year institution transfer process. Future research might further investigate how the multiple, intersecting identities of Latino men (e.g., sexuality, class) influence masculinities and transfer experiences. Implications for practice include a recommendation that institutions consider creating on-campus spaces and learning environments to support men in navigating masculinities.

目的：本研究的目的是调查从社区大学到四年制大学过渡期间，拉丁美洲人的男性气质观念如何影响其态度和行为。方法：采用现象学方法探讨了德克萨斯州，加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州的34名拉丁裔男子的生活经历。每个参与者都接受了两次采访。所有数据都被记录，转录并编码为主题。结果：研究结果表明，尽管先前的男性气概有时可以在转移过程中提供积极的工具，但随着男性在男性气概与大学成就要求之间达成协商，这些观念也带来了挑战。参加校园内的男子团体和学生组织可以帮助拉丁裔学生应对这些不一致之处，并根据他们的新环境来协商自己的交叉身份和男子气概的概念。贡献：这项研究表明，在社区大学到四年制大学的转学过程中，拉丁裔男性继续面临与男性气质和身份冲突相关的挑战。未来的研究可能会进一步调查拉美裔男性的多重，相交身份（例如，性，阶级）如何影响男性气质和转移经历。对实践的影响包括建议机构考虑创建校内空间和学习环境，以支持男性驾驭男性气概。
