男子气概是墨西哥文化中描述男性行为的一个重要概念，但它并没有得到很好的定义。大男子主义的大多数概念都集中在对超级男子气概的有限的、消极的看法上。作者认为，一个更完整的概念包括两个部分：传统的大男子主义和骑士主义，这是一个注重情感联系。作者开发了一个量表来测量这些维度，并在对墨西哥裔美国男性的2项独立研究中发现了对这2个独立因素的支持。传统的大男子主义与攻击性和反社会行为、更高水平的述情障碍以及更多的一厢情愿作为应对机制有关。卡巴莱主义与从属关系，种族认同和解决问题的应对呈正相关。传统的大男子主义也与受教育程度较低有关，而不同教育水平的骑士主义分数没有差异。这些结果支持更完整的，二维表征的男子气概。
Machismo is an important concept describing men's behavior in Mexican culture, yet it is not well-defined. Most conceptions of machismo focus on a restricted, negative view of hypermasculinity. The authors posit that a fuller conception consists of 2 parts: traditional machismo and caballerismo, which is a focus on emotional connectedness. The authors developed a scale to measure these dimensions and found support for these 2 independent factors in 2 separate studies of Mexican American men. Traditional Machismo was related to aggression and antisocial behavior, greater levels of alexithymia, and more wishful thinking as a coping mechanism. Caballerismo was positively associated with affiliation, ethnic identity, and problem-solving coping. Traditional Machismo was also associated with less education, whereas there were no differences across education level on Caballerismo scores. These results support the more complete, two-dimensional representation of machismo.
