Hadfield, Oakley D.; And Others
School Science and Mathematics, v92 n4 p171-76 Apr 1992
Presents a study to investigate the prevalence of mathematics anxiety in Navajo middle school students (n=358) and to explore possible relationships between learning styles and mathematics anxiety and achievement. Multiple regression procedures indicated that spatial ability and mathematics achievement were negatively correlated to mathematics anxiety but that persistence orientation was surprisingly the best predictor.
