Abstract

<p xmlns="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/JATS1">Statistics and math anxiety are pervasive problems for post-secondary students. We hypothesized that self-efficacy would be negatively related to math/statistics anxiety, and that anxiety sensitivity and perfectionism would be positively related to math/statistics anxiety, even when controlling for gender, university program, and education level. Method: Graduate and undergraduate students (N = 447, after exclusions) completed an online self-report questionnaire, including an abbreviated version of the Statistics Anxiety Rating Scale (STARS), math anxiety, self-efficacy, anxiety sensitivity, perfectionism, and demographics. Results: Exploratory factor analysis supported a six-factor structure for statistics anxiety. Self-efficacy was negatively associated with math/statistics anxiety, whereas anxiety sensitivity and perfectionism were positively associated with math/statistics anxiety. Relationships ranged from small-to-moderate, and most relationships persisted after adding covariates. Discussion: Our study suggests the feasibility of a short-form version of the STARS. Moreover, it provides important information on how personality is associated with domain-specific anxiety that can impede statistics education.</p></span> </div> </div> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divPublisher" class="publisher mt40"> <p class="font-bold font20">Publisher</p> <p class="color-gray2 mt10"> <span id="ContentPlaceHolder1_Labelpublisher">Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID)</span> </p> </div> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divSubject" class="subject mt40"> <p class="font-bold font20">Subject</p> <p id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divSubject2" class="color-gray2 mt10">General Medicine</p> </div> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divLink" class="link mt40"> <p class="font-bold font20">Link</p> <p id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divLink2" class="link-item color-gray2 mt10"><a href="https://ps.psychopen.eu/index.php/ps/article/download/7091/7091.pdf" target="_blank">https://ps.psychopen.eu/index.php/ps/article/download/7091/7091.pdf</a></p> </div> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divReference" class="reference mt40"> <p class="font-bold font20">Reference<span class="reference-num"><span id="ContentPlaceHolder1_Labelreferencescount">41</span> articles.</span></p> <div id="ContentPlaceHolder1_divReference2" class="reference-item color-gray2 mt10"><p>1. <a href="/WebPortal/ArticleView?wd=4C5A8D0827CA78F7FA75C6230949A18B39ED68301D5F798CE10CB785D8AF1136" target="_blank">Reciprocal relationships between math self-concept and math anxiety</a></p><p>2.
