Latina women report higher levels of psychological distress relative to Latino men (Fortuna et al. in J Clin Psychiatry 68(4):572–581, 2007; Wassertheil-Smoller et al. in Ann Epidemiol 24(11):822–830, 2014). Despite the prevalence and chronicity of mental health concerns among Latina women, rates of help-seeking are relatively low (Division of Diversity & Health Equity in Mental health disparities: Hispanics and Latinos [Fact sheet]. American Psychiatric Association, 2017). In the current study, we drew from the cultural influences on mental health model (Hwang et al. in Clin Psychol Rev 28(2):211–227, 2008) to explore the extent to which Latina women’s perceptions of their ethnocultural gender role relates to their mental health and help-seeking attitudes. To achieve this objective, we first conducted a latent profile analysis to examine the potential for an empirically supported taxonomy of Latina women’s ethnocultural gender role based upon their reported endorsement of traditional ethnic values and mainstream gender role attitudes. Then, we explored how profiles of Latina women’s ethnocultural gender role, as revealed by the taxonomy, may be associated with women’s mental health and help-seeking attitudes. Results revealed four profiles of Latina women’s ethnocultural gender role (i.e., Integrationist, Separationist, Assimilationist, and Marginalist) that were associated with women’s help-seeking attitudes, but not their mental health. Women in the Integrationist and Assimilationist profiles reported more positive help-seeking attitudes compared to women in the other two profiles. The implications of this study include advancing our understanding of Latina women’s cultural identity, mental health, and help-seeking attitudes.

相对于拉丁裔男性，拉丁裔女性报告的心理困扰程度更高（Fortuna 等人，发表于 J Clin Psychiatry 68(4):572–581, 2007；Wassertheil-Smoller 等人，发表于 Ann Epidemiol 24(11):822–830， 2014）。尽管拉丁裔女性普遍存在且长期存在心理健康问题，但寻求帮助的比率相对较低（心理健康差异中的多样性与健康公平部：西班牙裔和拉丁裔[情况说明书]。美国精神病学协会，2017）。在当前的研究中，我们利用文化对心理健康模型的影响（Hwang 等人，Clin Psychol Rev 28(2):211–227, 2008）来探讨拉丁裔女性对其民族文化性别角色的看法与他们的心理健康和寻求帮助的态度。为了实现这一目标，我们首先进行了潜在概况分析，以根据拉丁裔妇女对传统民族价值观和主流性别角色态度的认可，来检验对拉丁裔妇女的民族文化性别角色进行实证支持分类的可能性。然后，我们探讨了分类法揭示的拉丁裔女性的民族文化性别角色概况如何与女性的心理健康和寻求帮助的态度相关。结果揭示了拉丁裔女性民族文化性别角色的四种特征（即融合主义者、分离主义者、同化主义者和边缘主义者），这些特征与女性寻求帮助的态度有关，但与她们的心理健康无关。与其他两个群体中的女性相比，融合主义者和同化主义者群体中的女性报告了更积极的寻求帮助态度。这项研究的意义包括增进我们对拉丁裔女性文化认同、心理健康和寻求帮助态度的理解。
