The study aims to identify some positive thinking aspects in the personality among two university student groups (Saudi – Egyptian) and study the differences between them to know whether the cultural environment differences lead to the positive thinking differences or not. The study used the analytical descriptive statistical and the comparison method to analyze the data and reach the results. The study sample included 480 Saudi and Egyptian university students from the faculty of social science. The positive thinking aspects scale (Abdul Sattar Ibrahim, 2008) was applied. The hypothesis stated that there are no statistical differences between Saudi and Egyptian university students in the positive thinking aspects (optimism, locus of control, love of learning, satisfaction, self-acceptance, healthy cognitive balance, positive acceptance of differences with others, responsibility acceptance, forgiveness and comfort, social intelligence). The results are analyzed by means, standard deviations, and (T) test. The results found similarities in most positive thinking aspects and small differences between the groups is due to the personality’s interaction with the environment. Then the study ended with recommendations.
