Abstract
The interactive effects of extroversion/introversion personality traits and collectivism/individualism beliefs on students' group learning preferences are examined. The primary motivation for the study is the mixed results obtained with prior studies on the relationship between extroversion/introversion and student preference for different learning approaches. These divergent results may be explained by the failure of previous studies to account for the confounding effects of students' cultural beliefs. Seventy six final year students from 2 universities in Hong Kong were asked to complete questionnaires on the extroversion/introversion 10-item test and the collectivism/individualism 4-item scale. The results confirm the concerns raised in the study that an examination of the effects of extroversion/introversion on aspects of students' attitudes and performance should also recognize the confounding effects of students' cultural and other beliefs.
