Abstract
This study investigates cultural variation in self-construal, cognition, and motivation among youth in Belgium, Turkey, and Morocco. Using at least six measures per domain and combining mean-level comparisons with cultural fit scores, findings reveal systematic cultural differences providing a nuanced understanding of how these psychological tendencies are shaped across contexts.
