This study aims to compare Latine men and women's perceptions of hostile and benevolent sexist behaviors, while also examining the associations between these perceptions and Latine cultural values. Participants who identified as Latine (55 men, 57 women; = 32.05, = 10.63) were presented with 14 scenarios reflecting hostile and benevolent sexist interactions and were asked to rate their perceptions of these interactions as sexist and caring. The findings suggest that Latine men and women perceive benevolent sexist behaviors as less sexist and more caring than hostile sexist behaviors. Latine women were also more likely than Latine men to identify sexist behaviors as sexist, regardless of sexism type. In addition, Latine cultural values of machismo and marianismo were found to be negatively correlated with the identification of hostile and benevolently sexist behaviors as sexist and positively correlated with the identification of hostile and benevolently sexist behaviors as caring. Caballerismo was found to be negatively correlated with the identification of benevolently sexist behavior as sexist and positively associated with the identification of benevolently sexist behavior as caring. These findings lend support to previous conceptualizations of ambivalent sexism theory and Chicana feminist theorizing, which suggest that hostile and benevolent sexism function within Latine cultural values to uphold gender divisions. This study contributes to this conceptualization by addressing the role of Latine cultural values in how sexist interactions are perceived by Latine men and women and highlights the strengths within these values that can be used to address issues of sexism within Latine communities.
本研究旨在比较拉丁裔男性和女性对敌意性和善意性性别歧视行为的认知，同时考察这些认知与拉丁裔文化价值观之间的关联。自我认定为拉丁裔的参与者（55名男性，57名女性；平均年龄 = 32.05岁，标准差 = 10.63）被呈现了14个反映敌意性和善意性性别歧视互动的情景，并被要求对他们对这些互动的性别歧视和关怀程度的认知进行评分。研究结果表明，拉丁裔男性和女性认为善意性性别歧视行为比敌意性性别歧视行为的性别歧视程度更低且更具关怀性。无论性别歧视类型如何，拉丁裔女性比拉丁裔男性更有可能将性别歧视行为认定为性别歧视。此外，研究发现，大男子主义和圣母主义的拉丁裔文化价值观与将敌意性和善意性性别歧视行为认定为性别歧视呈负相关，与将敌意性和善意性性别歧视行为认定为关怀呈正相关。骑士精神与将善意性性别歧视行为认定为性别歧视呈负相关，与将善意性性别歧视行为认定为关怀呈正相关。这些研究结果支持了先前关于矛盾性别歧视理论和奇卡诺女权主义理论的概念化，这些理论表明，敌意性和善意性性别歧视在拉丁裔文化价值观中发挥作用以维持性别划分。本研究通过探讨拉丁裔文化价值观在拉丁裔男性和女性如何看待性别歧视互动中的作用，为这一概念化做出了贡献，并突出了这些价值观中可用于解决拉丁裔社区性别歧视问题的优势。
