“…Higher academic performance was found in this study among Polish PE students compared to the Ukrainian sample. The study of Boyle et al [ 63 ] showed differences in academic performance between Asian and non-Asian students from Australia. However, both groups attended the same university, so they shared the requirements and grading system.…”

“…Contrary to expectation, Polish and Ukrainian samples do not differ in academic motivation. Previous research showed that goal orientation differed in Asian and non-Asian cultures [ 63 , 66 ]. The differences were explained using the individualistic vs. collectivistic (independent vs. interdependent) approach.…”

“…The differences were explained using the individualistic vs. collectivistic (independent vs. interdependent) approach. Asian cultures present a greater socially based collectivistic orientation, which determines performance goal orientation, whereas Western cultures are more individualistically oriented, which determines mastery goal orientation [ 63 ]. However, both Polish and Ukrainian countries share Western culture, which may explain similar motivation levels among undergraduates in this study.…”

“…Culture refers to the integrated pattern of human knowledge, history, tradition, language, and belief systems that affect the perception of the world. Culture is a configuration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors shared by group members as an effect of learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations [ 63 ]. Previous research found some cross-cultural differences among undergraduates in motivation and academic achievements [ 43 , 44 ].…”

Background: This study examined the relationship of academic performance with the Big Five traits of personality, academic motivation, and gender in a cross-cultural context. Methods: Participants in the study were 424 university students of physical education (PE) departments from Poland (53%) and Ukraine (47%). Undergraduates completed a brief version of the International Personality Item Pool (Mini-IPIP) to assess the Five-Factor model of personality, the Academic Motivations Scale (AMS), and grade point average (GPA). Results: Polish PE students scored higher in emotional stability and extroversion and had a higher GPA than Ukrainian PE undergraduates. Gender differences were found in both personality traits and academic motivation scales. Intrinsic motivation may predict academic performance. Conscientiousness and intellect emerged as mediators of the relationship between intrinsic motivation and academic performance and gender was found as a moderator in the relationship between conscientiousness and academic success. Conclusions: Women are more motivated regarding academic achievements than men. In addition to intrinsic motivation, the most important factors for academic grades are some personality traits, gender, and cultural differences. Openness and conscientiousness in men are mediators between intrinsic motivation and academic performance. The results of this study may be useful for PE academic teachers to improve the motivation of their students.

“…According to Fernandez (2010), he defined culture as "the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations" (Fernandez, 2010 as cited in Boyle, Wongsri, Bahr, Macayan, & Bentler, 2020). There have been many conflicts such as miscommunication and misunderstanding that can occur due to the lack of understanding or unwillingness to understand cultural diversity in the cognitive process.…”

The purpose of the review article is to deepen the understanding of cultural diversity in terms of cognitive processes to avoid cultural conflicts such as misunderstanding and miscommunication. In this review, we found that there is a link that connected some cognitive processes with culture from various perspectives in our recent findings. The overall research findings suggested that there are pieces of evidence of how culture can play a role and differ from other cultures in cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory, and creativity. Evaluation and the measurement of the culture and cognition by the researchers in the studies were included in this review together with the results of the findings and some future implications for further research proposed by the researchers of the study in some studies reviewed. We will also review how people of various cultures adapt their cognition which differs them from other cultures in some studies. In conclusion, we hope that more factors should be considered for cross-cultural studies in cognition, and further critical interpretation is needed in this review article to made people realize the diversity of cognition in culture and accept it.
