Book excerpt: The present study examined the relationship between machismo and help-seeking attitudes on Latinos' help-seeking intentions. Moderated hierarchical regression analysis was utilized to investigate the influence of traditional machismo and caballerismo and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help on Latinos' intentions to seek counseling. Results from the regression analysis provided support for the negative association between traditional machismo and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help and intentions to seek counseling. In contrast, caballerismo was not found to positively relate to attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help or intentions to seek counseling. Consistent with the existing literature, support was found for the positive association between attitudes toward and intentions to seek counseling. Results did not support moderation effects of attitudes toward professional psychological help on relationship between traditional machismo and intentions to seek counseling. Similarly, results did not support moderation effects of attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help on the relationship between caballerismo and intentions to seek counseling. The limitations associated with the present study are discussed, and recommendations for future research are offered.
