Research suggests that in the United States, Hispanic professional women's self-esteem is affected by their unique challenge of balancing U.S. majority cultural values with their own, more family-oriented ethnic values. In the present study, the effect of this ethnic minority/majority cultural differential on U.S. Hispanic men's self-esteem was investigated. Differences in self-esteem, self-acceptance, masculinity, and femininity among U.S. Hispanic professional men, non-Hispanic professionals, scientists, college students, and clients seeking counseling were examined. Masculinity scores were significantly higher for Hispanic professional men than for all other groups of men, and self-acceptance scores were significantly lower for Hispanic professional men that for non-Hispanic professionals and students.
研究表明，在美国，西班牙裔职业女性的自尊受到她们在平衡美国主流文化价值观与自身更注重家庭的族裔价值观这一独特挑战的影响。在本研究中，调查了这种少数族裔/多数族裔文化差异对美国西班牙裔男性自尊的影响。研究了美国西班牙裔职业男性、非西班牙裔专业人士、科学家、大学生以及寻求咨询的客户在自尊、自我接纳、男子气概和女性气质方面的差异。西班牙裔职业男性的男子气概得分显著高于所有其他男性群体，而西班牙裔职业男性的自我接纳得分显著低于非西班牙裔专业人士和学生。
