Abstract

The present study seeks to investigate the two concepts of intelligence and culture and the interactions between these two. In this regard, the two concepts of intelligence and culture were defined as two basic structures. This study was performed by analytical-descriptive method. An initial list of Persian articles and books was created by searching in the SID (from 2010 to 2020) And on the Google Scholar and Science Direct database (from 1995 to 2020). In the following, articles and books related to the subject were selected in the secondary list. In English-language sources, Sternberg's articles and works are among the main sources of analysis and culture in order to enjoy the categorization of intelligence theories into two categories, explicit and implicit, and attention to various aspects of the relationship between intelligence and culture. Implicit theories, which include the assumptions of people of different cultures of intelligence, have been analyzed based on research findings. In addition, Whorf's theory of relativity and linguistic algebra in explaining some aspects of language has been described as an influential tool of culture on people's intelligence and cognition, and among these topics are related statements in Persian books on educational psychology and findings.
