Abstract

Machismo culture is the expected view of society towards men, such as a man should always be the family provider and independent. However, because of the gender roles, the importance of mental help-seeking remained left behind due to prejudices resulting in men’s negative attitudes towards seeking mental help. Researchers investigate the association between the level of machismo and attitude towards seeking professional psychological help. The present study examined the Early adult males ages 20-40 years old, residing within Metro Manila or Cavite (n=100). Collected the data according to demographics such as civil status, employment status, and nature of employment. Mixed-method design was used, and structured interviews through online and survey questionnaires were used to collect data. Results revealed that there is a strong correlation between the level of machismo and attitude towards seeking professional psychological help, as the computed value of Pearson’s r= 0.70. Based on the t-test (9.70) is greater than the critical value of 1.987, indicating that the correlation is statistically significant, indicating that the increase in level of machismo will also increase the negative attitude towards seeking mental help. Findings suggest mental health interventions could contribute to understanding of gender roles and to support men to increase help seeking behavior.
