Charles J. Fitzsimmons; Pooja G. Sidney; Marta Mielicki; Lauren K. Schiller; Daniel A. Scheibe; Jennifer M. Taber; Percival G. Matthews; Erika A. Waters; Karin G. Coifman; Clarissa A. Thompson – Grantee Submission, 2023
Comparing health risks that include ratios of integers (e.g., 12 in 1,000) is challenging. We tested whether a worked-example intervention with number-line visual displays improved adults' risk-comparison accuracy, whether pretest confidence moderated learning, and which individual differences related to accuracy. Replicating prior work, U.S.…

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…

Cynthia C. Massey; E. Anthony Muhammad – Teacher Educator, 2024
Students with disabilities have scored well below their same-aged peers on national mathematics standardized tests for decades. This problem is compounded by special education teachers who lack strong content knowledge, experience math anxiety, and have poor self-confidence in their ability to teach math. This qualitative study explores three…

Nielsen, Tine; Kreiner, Svend – Cogent Education, 2021
In 2018, Nielsen and Kreiner provided evidence that the Attitudes and Relationship to Statistics--Revised (HFS-R) questionnaire provides essentially valid, objective, and reliable measurement of three statistical anxiety constructs and one statistical attitude construct among students of sociology and public health. The purpose of the study…

Esnard, Talia Randa; Alladin, Fareena Maryam; Samlal, Keisha Chandra – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
The objectives of this study were to examine (1) the expectation for performance (EFP) in statistics of first year university students, (2) the relative effect of previous mathematics performance (PMP), perceived statistical self-efficacy (SSE), and statistics anxiety (SA) for understanding these expectations, and (3) whether students' EFP scores…

David, Amir; Rubinsten, Orly; Berkovich-Ohana, Aviva – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Math anxiety has received increasing focus in recent years, yet the causes for developing math-anxiety remain unclear. Whereas previous research focused on physiological/environmental causes, we examine the link between math-anxiety, dispositional mindfulness, and self-centeredness (operationalized as self-prioritization and decentering). The…

Lenka Farkacová; Mária Králová; Eva Zelendová – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
This article aims to identify the mutual relationship between the awareness of the importance of mathematical competencies for the acquisition of work-related skills and the perceived importance of the latter for performance in future work and successful participation in the labor market. How these issues relate to math anxiety is also explored.…

Eidlin-Levy, Hili; Avraham, Elad; Fares, Laurain; Rubinsten, Orly – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Links between math anxiety and the choice of a math-intensive career might change over develop- ment and difer by gender. The study included three research populations: primary school (N=87, 48 females, mean age=10.2), high school (N=107, 61 females, mean age=15.7), and university students (N=100, 53 females, mean age=27.4). Students…

Hilz, Anna; Aldrup, Karen – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2023
Studies on math learning programs are lacking that consider a wide set of outcome variables, and students' practice behavior. Therefore, we investigated whether an adaptive arithmetic learning program fosters students' math performance (addition and subtraction), math self-concept, and a reduction of math anxiety, and how practice behavior…

Mathematics anxiety (MA) has a debilitating impact on learning, achievement, mental health, and the future career life of students. Though MA is a popular research theme, there is little agreement among researchers regarding the cross-cultural effect of gender. The purpose of this paper was to explore the perceived MA differences among males and…

Kiss, Allyson J.; Vukovic, Rose – Psychology in the Schools, 2021
Little is known about how math anxiety in parents may relate to engagement in their children's education (i.e., parent involvement, parent educational expectations) or children's math outcomes (i.e., child math achievement and child math anxiety). The current exploratory study examined these relations between parents and their fifth grade…
