The author was part of the 2022 Undergraduate Research Study Abroad program in Morocco.The aim of this cross-cultural comparative study was to investigate the differences in academic burnout, coping styles, and learning-related achievement emotions between university students in Morocco (studying at the International University of Rabat) and in the United States (studying at the University of Minnesota Duluth). This study addressed three objectives: (1) to evaluate the different perceptions of academic burnout between both cultures, (2) to compare the coping strategies used by Moroccan and American students when responding to stress, and (3) to investigate differences in learning-related achievement emotions. Findings of this study revealed that UMD students reported higher levels of exhaustion in academic-related activities, UIR students had higher levels of hope and pride when learning academic material. Future research might examine how distinct cultural values and environments can have psychological impacts on university students’ academic experiences.enUniversity of Minnesota DuluthUndergraduate Research Opportunities Programstudent burnoutcopingstressachievement emotionscross-cultural perceptionsDepartment of PsychologyCollege of Education and Human Service ProfessionsUniversity HonorsUndergraduate Research Study Abroad programPresentation
