Sari, Mehmet Hayri; Szczygiel, Monika – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Although interest in mathematics anxiety in young children (6-11 years) has increased recently, the results of previous studies on the role of mathematics anxiety in the relationship between number sense and math performance are inconsistent. The study's main objective was to establish whether math anxiety is a mediator or a moderator in the…

Ruifan Luo; Aoxue Zhang; Yangyang Wang; Hongxia Li; Yanli Xu; Kaiyue Guo; Jiwei Si – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Both teacher support and math attitudes have been identified as associated with math anxiety in primary school children. However, little is known about how they are interrelated longitudinally. Aims: The study was designed to examine the associations among perceived teacher support, math attitudes, and math anxiety in Chinese primary…

Jonatan Finell; Hanna Eklöf; Johan Korhonen; Bert Jonsson – Discover Education, 2024
The current study assessed reliability and validity evidence of the shortened Swedish Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale--Elementary (MARS-E), using data from three time points. After initial pilot tests, a total of 429 students participated in the study, completing the MARS-E twice during grade 4 and once during grade 5. Confirmatory factor…

Pynn, Christina Louise – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study investigated the predictive relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics performance using a more sensitive measure of performance, fluency. Fourth and fifth grade students completed a seven-page packed which included a demographic questionnaire, the Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC), a mixed math probe measuring…

Mitchell, Linvall; George, Lois – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
This quantitative, survey research investigated the prevalence of mathematics anxiety among 62 fourth and sixth grade primary level students (aged nine to 12 years). It also explored the correlation between mathematics performance and mathematics anxiety as well as if there was a significant, statistical difference between the mathematics anxiety…

Lindsey Hildebrand; Sara Cordes – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Increasing evidence suggests that success in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields is not only dependent upon one's actual STEM-relevant abilities but also upon one's STEM-relevant attitudes--in particular, math and spatial attitudes. Here, we examine whether simply mentioning the math or spatial relevance of a task affects…

Sarah Powell; Katherine Berry; Tessa Arsenault; Syeda Sharjina Akther; Danielle Lariviere; Jessica Mao; Alison Hardy – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Background: In fourth grade, students must solve single- and multi-step word problems during classroom instruction and on standardized tests. The majority of mathematics items on high-stakes assessments are word problems; thus, word-problem proficiency is necessary to demonstrate successful mathematics performance. However, many students are…

Qingli Lei; Di Liu; Xiuhan Chen; Megan Hirni; Heba Abdelnaby – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigated the relationship between non-cognitive factors (mathematics anxiety, Emotional Intelligence, and mathematics self-concept) and mathematics performance in students with and without Mathematics Learning Disability (MLD). Participants were 340 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students from a public elementary school. Results showed…

A problem influencing mathematics performance and student's perceptions of their ability to learn mathematics is mathematics anxiety. This mixed method study examined the perceptions, correlations, and mathematical conversations of Hispanic fourth and fifth grade low-performing students and their parents. A psychological approach provided the…

Seowon Song; Tianyu Li; Michaela Quintero; Zhe Wang – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
The present study tested the learning avoidance model by examining the degree to which learning avoidance in various afterschool settings mediated the negative association between math anxiety and math achievement. Participants consisted of 207 third to sixth graders. Using a path model, findings showed that students' math anxiety was negatively…

Liu, Yue; Wang, Chuang; Liu, Jian; Liu, Hongyun – Educational Psychology, 2022
The primary goals of this study are to investigate if cognitive activation increases mathematics self-efficacy, which in turn alleviates anxiety and to examine the moderating role of internal migrant status. Hierarchical linear models and multilevel structural equation models were employed to datasets of 3088 fourth graders from 57 classrooms in…

Lichtenfeld, Stephanie; Pekrun, Reinhard; Marsh, Herbert W.; Nett, Ulrike E.; Reiss, Kristina – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Achievement emotions have received increasing attention in research on adolescence and young adulthood, but little is known about these emotions in the early years of schooling. Studies addressing the development of different achievement emotions and their linkages with achievement during these years are largely lacking. The present longitudinal…

Passolunghi, Maria Chiara; De Vita, Chiara; Pellizzoni, Sandra – Developmental Science, 2020
Math anxiety (MA) is a specific feeling of tension generated by the manipulation of numerical stimuli in daily life and academic situations (Richardson & Suinn, 1972). This condition has significant repercussions on the individual's life at personal, social, and economic level. Literature on the topic of MA alleviation, however, is still…

Tyson, Alan B. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Music and math are related in that 1) they both rely on the basic understanding of numbers, proportions, intervals, measurements, and operations and 2) both require levels of abstract thinking and symbolic notation. Studies link music and math by examining, for example, how music may play a role in math performance. There are, however, few studies…
