  Designing mobile software that aligns with cultural contexts is crucial for
optimizing human-computer interaction. Considering cultural influences is
essential not only for the actual set of functional/non-functional
requirements, but also for the whole Requirement Engineering (RE) process.
Without a clear understanding of cultural influences on RE activities, it's
hardly possible to elaborate a correct and complete set of requirements. This
research explores the impact of national culture on RE-related activities based
on recent studies. We conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of studies
published in 2019-2023 and compared them to an older SLR covering 2000-2018. We
identified 17 relevant studies, extracted 33 cultural influences impacting RE
activities, and mapped them to the Hofstede model, widely used for cultural
analysis in software development research. Our work highlights the critical
role of national culture in RE activities, summarizes current research trends,
and helps practitioners consider cultural influences for mobile app/software
development.
