In this article, we review research that has examined the association between race, ethnicity, culture, and student motivation. We begin by describing potential problems regarding how race, ethnicity, and culture are defined in research. Next, we review some of the methods that have been used to examine the associations among race, ethnicity, culture, and several constructs related to academic motivation (e.g., valuing of education, ethnic identity, generational status, and other contextual factors). In this review, we highlight how different methodologies reflect different assumptions, and have led to different conclusions, about these associations. The article concludes with a consideration of future research questions and methodology, including important factors to consider when examining the intersection of race, ethnicity, culture, and academic motivation.

审查多样化学生群体的学术动机：方法论上的考虑

在本文中，我们回顾了研究了种族，种族，文化和学生动机之间关系的研究。我们首先描述有关研究中如何定义种族，种族和文化的潜在问题。接下来，我们回顾一些用于检查种族，种族，文化和与学术动机（例如，对教育的评价，种族身份，世代身份和其他背景因素）相关的构造之间的关联的方法。在本文中，我们重点介绍了不同的方法如何反映不同的假设，并得出了关于这些关联的不同结论。本文最后考虑了未来的研究问题和方法，包括在研究种族，种族，文化，
