Abstract
  • The effects of Good Man Culture on university students' conduct and grades in China are the focus of this research. Using the Confucian principles of kindness, justice, propriety, wisdom, and fidelity as a framework, the study investigates how many aspects of students' behavior and academic performance are impacted by their adherence to these cultural standards. Using a quantitative technique, data is gathered from 500 undergraduate students in China, representing a variety of majors and universities. Participants' strong devotion to Good Man Culture is supported by the findings, which show that cultural values are significantly correlated with academic honesty, interpersonal relationships, and classroom participation. Higher levels of adherence to Good Man Culture are associated with higher GPA scores, which in turn indicate greater academic success for students. Cultural values may have a different impact on various student demographics, according to subgroup analysis. There ought to be culturally sensitive educational policy and practice in Chinese institutions since this study shows how cultural values affect student behavior and academic results.
