    The manuscript "The Role of Family Functionality in Promoting Resilience and Reducing Academic Burnout Among Adolescents" closely aligns with the collection's focus on the influence of cultural and emotional factors within educational settings. This study reveals how family functionality positively impacts essential social and emotional competencies such as optimism, sociability, and self-efficacy in adolescents from Spain, while inversely correlating with academic burnout dimensions like emotional exhaustion and cynicism. It further shows that family functionality serves as a partial mediator between humanization competencies and academic burnout, highlighting its essential role in fostering psychological well-being and academic efficacy. By underscoring the importance of family-centered interventions, these findings suggest actionable pathways to enhance high school students' mental health and resilience within educational contexts, providing valuable insights for educators, mental health professionals, and policymakers committed to supporting adolescent well-being and academic success.
