Mathematics anxiety and mathematics achievement

open access: yesMathematics Education Research Journal, 2003
This paper is a distillation of the major result from the 1998 Ph.D. thesis of the late David Wither. It details a longitudinal study over five years of the relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics achievement. It starts from the already well documented negative correlation between the two, and seeks to establish one of the three ...

On the Transmission of Mathematics Anxiety

The Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
The nature and quality of a child's early exposure to mathematics is a matter of ongoing concern in our profession. This concern has been amplified recently by the studies relating to “math anxiety” in children and adults (Tobias 1976). At the same time, research continues on the relative significance of biological and environmental factors on ...

Anxiety and Mathematics: An Update

Harvard Educational Review, 1980
Sheila Tobias and Carol Weissbrod argue that remedies for "math anxiety" need to be evaluated and new techniques devised that are more closely linked to theories of learning. They maintain that proper techniques can be effective in reversing female under-achievement in mathematics and that further research will indicate comparable techniques to prevent

Mathematics Anxiety and Test Anxiety: Separate Constructs?

The Journal of Experimental Education, 2000
The authors used correlational and confirmatory factor analytic techniques to examine the relationship between measures of the constructs of mathematics anxiety and test anxiety. The correlations found between measures of the 2 constructs were nearly as high as those found within measures of the 2 constructs, bringing into question the separateness of ...
