Objective: The present study was aimed at assessing the relation between cultural factors and cognitive and learning styles.  
Method: 398 Iranian and 277 American students from different fields of study in the universities of 
Tehran and Boston entered the experiment. The Knowing Styles Inventory (KSI) and the Individualism-Collectivism Scale (ICS) were used to assess knowing styles and the level of individualism-collectivism respectively. 
Results: In both samples, separate knowing style was significantly correlated with individualism and connected knowing was significantly correlated with collectivism. Mean score of separate knowing style and vertical individualism was significantly higher in male students than in female students and in Iranian students than in American students. 
Conclusion: In line with previous findings the results of the present study confirm the effect of cultural constructs on cognitive approach and interpersonal interactions.
