Noncontent Variables in Mathematics Testing: A Bibliography of Research.
Hembree, Ray – 1986
This bibliography identifies reports of research on the effects of variables other than knowledge of content on mathematics test performance. The listing was developed for a synthesis of its research, performed by meta-analysis at Adrian College, Michigan, in 1985. Variables chosen for study were determined by the criterion that each could be…

Effects of Noncontent Variables on Mathematics Test Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hembree, Ray – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1987
Results of 120 studies were combined by meta-analysis to determine effects on mathematics test performance of factors other than knowledge of content. Conditions that enhanced performance included testwiseness training, praise, word problem pictures, and frequent testing. Conditions depressing or not affecting performance were also noted. (MNS)

A Bibliography of Research on Academic Test Anxiety.
Hembree, Ray – 1987
This bibliography identifies reports of research on correlates, causes, effects, and treatment of test anxiety. The listing was developed for a synthesis of research, performed by meta-analysis at Adrian College, Michigan in 1986-87. Guidelines for including studies were applied as follows: (1) the research concerned academic test anxiety, using…

The Nature, Effects, and Relief of Mathematics Anxiety.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hembree, Ray – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1990
Integrates research on mathematics anxiety, regarding its nature, effects, and relief by using meta-analysis. Concludes that mathematics anxiety depresses performance and that mathematics and test anxieties both relate to general anxiety. Discusses the sex difference of the anxiety and its effects on achievement. (Author/YP)

Experiments and Relational Studies in Problem Solving: A Meta-Analysis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hembree, Ray – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1992
Results in 487 reports were integrated by meta-analysis to study characteristics of problem solvers, conditions for harder and easier problems, effects of different instructional methods on problem-solving performance, and effects of classroom-related conditions on problem-solving performance. Problem solving related positively to measures of…
