Research indicates alcohol use among Latinas/os occurs within a gendered context. Scholars surmise this is due to traditional gender roles (TGRs) of Latina/o culture, but without an analysis of the literature these assertions are unclear. Thus, this article provides a narrative review of the extant TGRs and alcohol use literature among Latinas/os. Thirteen articles met inclusion criteria. Across studies, findings were mixed, aside from those suggesting TGRs composed of hypermasculinity (i.e., traditional machismo) were robustly related to drinking. Tests of mediation and moderation indicated TGRs and alcohol use should be assessed within a multivariate framework. Future research should address these inconsistencies through methodological refinements. In addition, we suggest the integration of existing theoretical perspectives to assist with scholarly development in this area.
研究表明，拉丁裔人群中的酒精使用行为发生在一个性别化的背景中。学者们推测，这是由于拉丁裔文化中的传统性别角色（TGRs）造成的，但如果没有对文献进行分析，这些说法就不清楚了。因此，本文对拉丁裔人群中的 TGRs 和酒精使用文献进行了叙述性综述。符合纳入标准的文章有 13 篇。在这些研究中，除了那些表明由过度男性化（即传统的男子气概）组成的 TGRs 与饮酒有密切关系的研究外，研究结果存在差异。中介和调节检验表明，TGRs 和酒精使用应该在一个多变量框架内进行评估。未来的研究应该通过方法上的改进来解决这些不一致性。此外，我们建议整合现有的理论观点，以协助该领域的学术发展。
