Learning motivation is the central part that stimulates students to learn. Scholars in the education and psychology field have studied motivation for a long time to develop an appropriate teaching and learning strategy for students. In contrast, many studies conducted do not have enough generalization. The paper aimed to review factors involved in a competition from the social comparison perspective and examined individual and cultural differences in competition motivation among students. The results showed that Situational and individual factors led to comparison concerns and triggered competitive behaviors. Gender and cultural differences significantly distinguished students' learning motivation in a competitive environment, while no age variation was founded. This study drew a comprehensive interpretation of the relationship between competition and the learning motivation of students. Further study about the relationship between long-lasting competitive phenomenon and motivation needs to be encouraged.
