We aimed to examine high school students' level of mathematics anxiety and use of self-regulatory learning strategies as a function of different variables and to examine the correlation between these variables. The sample consisted of 330 students at 11th and 12th grades from three different high schools in the west of Turkey. We used the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale, Self-Regulatory Strategies Scale, and a personal information form. We found that female students' level of mathematics anxiety and use of self-regulatory learning strategies were higher than male students. Moreover, we found that 11th grade students had higher mathematics anxiety than 12th grade students and that there is a significant difference in students' level of mathematics anxiety by mathematics achievement. In contrast, use of self-regulatory learning strategies did not demonstrate a significant difference by mathematics achievement scores. We found no correlation between students' level of mathematics anxiety and use of self-regulatory learning strategies.
