Abstract

This study focused on the investigation of the influence of cultural differences on group behaviors in an academic setting. Under a highly competitive environment and facing limited social resources, people would be inclined to perceive competitiveness and make more competitive decisions despite their cultural differences. We investigated Chinese students - facing limited resources and being exposed to a highly competitive environment - and American students’ perceptions and decision-making in an academic environment. The paper hypothesized that as compared to their American counterparts, Chinese students would be more inclined to perceive competitiveness and make less cooperative decisions. As we predicted, data analysis showed that Chinese students indeed reported higher perceived competitiveness, which supported our hypothesis that when competing for limited social resources, people would be embedded with a stronger sense of competition and intend to make more competitive decisions.
