Traditional research on human learning has neglected people’s beliefs about learning, the role of culture in shaping those beliefs, and people’s consequent learning behavior. Recent research provides evidence that cultural beliefs about learning are essential in influencing individuals’ beliefs and their actual learning. This article reviews research onWestern learning beliefs, which emphasize the mind, and Chinese learning beliefs, which emphasize personal virtue, as well as on the differences these beliefs produce in people’s actual learning. Developmental evidence is also presented to show that the cultural influences begin early. Future research directions are discussed.
