Some disagreement exists about whether an Appalachian culture exists. Common notions about Appalachia's people are tied to myths that disguise truths about those that claim a heritage tied to place. Living in the region is different from having multiple generations of ancestors and a family legacy associated with place. Conclusions suggest that cultural traits of some residents are recognizable as unique from others in the nation's mainstream, but they are not generalizable to all people living in the Appalachian region.
关于阿巴拉契亚文化是否存在存在一些分歧。关于阿巴拉契亚人的普遍观念与一些神话相关联，这些神话掩盖了那些声称有与该地区相关遗产的人的真相。生活在该地区与拥有多代祖先以及与该地区相关的家族遗产是不同的。结论表明，一些居民的文化特征与美国主流社会的其他人相比是独特可辨的，但这些特征不能推广到所有生活在阿巴拉契亚地区的人身上。
