Specifically, we investigated whether teachers' acculturation attitudes towards their students mediate effects of the perceived cultural diversity climate at school on teachers' intercultural self-efficacy in culturally diverse classrooms. Analyses were based on reports of 186 teachers (14{\%} of immigrant descent; M age {\thinspace}={\thinspace}40.8; SD age {\thinspace}={\thinspace}11.8, 73{\%} female) in 22 culturally diverse secondary schools in Southwest Germany. Path analyses indicated that perceived norms of cultural pluralism , and perceived norms of equality and inclusion are directly and positively associated with facets of intercultural self-efficacy. Moreover, teachers' support for cultural maintenance amongst their students was associated with intercultural self- efficacy, but no mediation was found between climate and intercultural self-efficacy via acculturation attitudes. Implications for teacher training, educational practice and future research on the acculturation and adjustment of teachers in culturally diverse classrooms are discussed.}, note = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichung}, note = {Specialty sections: Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience; Cognition; Cognitive Science; Comparative Psychology; Consciousness Research; Cultural Psychology; Decision Neuroscience; Developmental Psychology; Eating Behavior; Educational Psychology; Emotion Science; Evolutionary Psychology and Neuroscience; Language Sciences; Movement Science and Sport Psychology; Perception Science; Personality Science and Individual Differences; Psychoanalysis and Neuropsychoanalysis; Psychology for Clinical Settings; Psychopathology; Quantitative Psychology and Measurement; Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology; Psychopathology}, issn = {1664-1078}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2022.953068}, url = {https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00053786}, url = {http://uri.gbv.de/document/gvk:ppn:631495711}, url = {https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.953068}, file = {:https://www.db-thueringen.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/dbt_derivate_00057582/fpsyg-13-953068.pdf:PDF}, language = {en} }
