Abstract

The results of our previous studies showed that the Russian students prevail cognitive and social motivation, while the Chinese students – professional and social. On the formation of the statistical concepts’ system for the Chinese students influents professional motivation, but for the Russian students – cognitive motivation. After the studying of the structural analysis remains an open question of whether the Russian and Chinese students samples differ in the level of the motivational factors’ expression. This study showed that the level of cognitive motivation of the Russian sample is significantly higher than that of the Chinese, and the level of professional motivation of the Chinese sample is significantly higher than the Russian: Chinese students are motivated by achievement of success in their professional activities, while Russian students – interest to the process of learning and avoidance of failures. The findings contribute to the understanding of the learning motivation’s characteristics of both Russian and Chinese psychology students
