What can be concluded from studies on the cultural differences in rating performance on math?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies on cultural differences in rating performance on math suggest that culture plays a role in both the type of persuasion someone receives (for example, whether effort or ability is emphasized) and the modeling available (whether there are successful people in the cultural group to emulate). It is not necessarily true that culture makes it difficult to understand academic performance or that individuals from Eastern cultures have higher self-efficacy even when performing poorly. The idea that people from Western cultures have low self-efficacy due to a lack of similar models is not directly supported by the research on cultural differences in rating math performance.
