As California is one of the primary states with the highest influx of Latinxs, the rise of Latinx enrollment in California high schools calls to the importance of understanding methods to increase academic and overall wellness. Cultural congruity (i.e., match of one’s cultural values with those of the educational setting) is hypothesized to influence positive academic and psychological outcomes for Latinx students. However, no study to date has examined the role cultural congruity in further explaining psychological outcomes for high schoolers. Using the psychosociocultural framework, the study’s purpose was to examine if cultural congruity further explains the relationships between academic self-efficacy, family support, and ethnic identity with coping, respectively. For a sample of 104 Latinx Californian high school students, results revealed that cultural congruity partially explained the relationships of academic self-efficacy and ethnic identity with coping, respectively. Educators and mental health practitioners may benefit from implementing a curriculum that is culturally validating, as it may support positive psychological functioning and coping strategies.

由于加利福尼亚州是拉丁裔人数最多的主要州之一，加利福尼亚州高中拉丁裔入学人数的增加要求了解提高学业和整体健康的方法的重要性。假设文化一致性（即一个人的文化价值观与教育环境的价值观相匹配）会影响拉丁裔学生的积极的学业和心理成果。然而，迄今为止，还没有研究检验文化一致性在进一步解释高中生心理结果方面的作用。使用心理社会文化框架，该研究的目的是检验文化一致性是否分别进一步解释了学业自我效能、家庭支持和种族认同与应对之间的关​​系。对于 104 名拉丁裔加利福尼亚高中生的样本，结果显示，文化一致性分别部分解释了学业自我效能感和种族认同与应对的关系。教育工作者和心理健康从业者可能会从实施文化验证的课程中受益，因为它可能支持积极的心理功能和应对策略。
