Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math anxiety is a specific tension, apprehension, or fear surrounding math. Math anxiety is negatively related to math performance, such that those who are highly math anxious show poorer performance in basic numerical processing and perform worse on complex math problems as compared to those who are low in math anxiety. Math anxiety is a trait anxiety, in that some individuals have higher levels of persistent anxiety overall than others, which in this case is specifically related to math. Reductions in working memory, a limited-capacity executive resource used for the immediate storage, integration and manipulation of information, are seen in math anxious individuals when solving math problems. It is not just trait anxiety that relates to performance. Situational anxiety induced from the environment has also been shown to negatively impact math problem-solving due to the effects of anxiety on working memory resources. Importantly, math problems are often solved in high pressure environments where an individual needs to perform at her best. Little research has explored how situational anxiety induced from the environment may interact with trait math anxiety to impact math performance. In experiment 1 we demonstrate that undergraduate adults who are high in math anxiety show reductions in math performance on high cognitively demanding problems in a low pressure situation, and math performance does not decline further with situational pressure. In experiment 2 we demonstrate that children who are high in math anxiety and high in WM show declines in math performance if they report high levels of state anxiety following a math interaction they completed with their parent. Children who are high in math anxiety and high in WM who report low levels of state anxiety following a math interaction perform similarly to those children who are high in WM and low in math anxiety. Similar effects are seen in high WM children if parents report high levels of state anxiety and math anxiety, though the effects are small and not significant. In experiment 2 we also demonstrate that parents show declines in their own math performance following a math interaction with their child that are modified by the parent's math anxiety and by the situational pressure induced by the interaction. Parent's in the low pressure condition with high math anxiety showed declines in math performance as compared to parents with low math anxiety. In the pressure condition, low math anxious parents perform similarly to high math anxious parents in the low pressure condition. High math anxious parents in the pressure condition show the lowest math performance. Our results in the first experiment do not suggest a compound effect of trait math anxiety and state anxiety/pressure on performance, but this may be due to increased pressure they feel in what we consider a 'low pressure' condition. Our results in experiment 2 demonstrate a compound effect of math anxiety and state anxiety/pressure on math performance in both children and parents. Importantly, when highly math anxious children report low levels of state anxiety following a math interaction completed either under low or high pressure, they perform similarly to low math anxious children. When high math anxious parents report low levels of state anxiety following a low pressure situation, they also performed similarly to low math anxious parents, though this is not significant. Ultimately, the negative effects of math anxiety on math performance may be alleviated if an individual's reported perceptions of their anxiety are low. In order to help improve math performance for math anxious individuals, interventions may focus on off-loading an individual's worries in order to reduce perceptions of anxiety or may focus on helping math anxious individuals reinterpret their anxiety prior to performing math. This may be particularly beneficial for children who are highly math anxious.
Book Synopsis Mathematical and Statistics Anxiety: Educational, Social, Developmental and Cognitive Perspectives by : Kinga Morsanyi
Download or read book Mathematical and Statistics Anxiety: Educational, Social, Developmental and Cognitive Perspectives written by Kinga Morsanyi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical anxiety is a feeling of tension, apprehension or fear which arises when a person is faced with mathematical content. The negative consequences of mathematical anxiety are well-documented. Students with high levels of mathematical anxiety might underperform in important test situations, they tend to hold negative attitudes towards mathematics, and they are likely to opt out of elective mathematics courses, which also affects their career opportunities. Although at the university level many students do not continue to study mathematics, social science students are confronted with the fact that their disciplines involve learning about statistics - another potential source of anxiety for students who are uncomfortable with dealing with numerical content. Research on mathematical anxiety is a truly interdisciplinary field with contributions from educational, developmental, cognitive, social and neuroscience researchers. The current collection of papers demonstrates the diversity of the field, offering both new empirical contributions and reviews of existing studies. The contributors also outline future directions for this line of research.

Download or read book Mathematics Anxiety written by Irene C. Mammarella and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feelings of apprehension and fear brought on by mathematical performance can affect correct mathematical application and can influence the achievement and future paths of individuals affected by it. In recent years, mathematics anxiety has become a subject of increasing interest both in educational and clinical settings. This ground-breaking collection presents theoretical, educational and psychophysiological perspectives on the widespread phenomenon of mathematics anxiety. Featuring contributions from leading international researchers, Mathematics Anxiety challenges preconceptions and clarifies several crucial areas of research, such as the distinction between mathematics anxiety from other forms of anxiety (i.e., general or test anxiety); the ways in which mathematics anxiety has been assessed (e.g. throughout self-report questionnaires or psychophysiological measures); the need to clarify the direction of the relationship between math anxiety and mathematics achievement (which causes which). Offering a revaluation of the negative connotations usually associated with mathematics anxiety and prompting avenues for future research, this book will be invaluable to academics and students in the field psychological and educational sciences, as well as teachers working with students who are struggling with mathematics anxiety

Book Synopsis The Role of Anticipation in the Relation Between Math Anxiety and Math Performance by : Hye Sang Chang
Download or read book The Role of Anticipation in the Relation Between Math Anxiety and Math Performance written by Hye Sang Chang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students frequently feel anxious about mathematics. While math anxiety is generally associated with poor math performance, multiple factors may influence how individuals with varying levels of math anxiety perform on math. In this dissertation, I examine one of the important factors that may influence the relationship between math anxiety and performance: anticipation, which is known to trigger anxiety-related responses. In Chapter 1, I investigate whether the duration of anticipation moderates the relationship between math anxiety and math performance, whether there are domain-specific performance decrements for math (compared to non-math control) tasks, and whether specific patterns of physiological responses mediate the math anxiety ~ math performance relation. I find that individuals exhibiting high, compared to low, math anxiety perform poorly on the math task after a longer anticipation period. Anticipation-related performance impairments for high math anxious individuals are domain-specific for hard problems and domain-general for easy problems. Lower parasympathetic activity, as measured by respiratory sinus arrhythmia, relates to better performance on the hard math task after the longer anticipation period among low math anxious individuals. In Chapter 2, I ask whether the duration and timing of anticipation affect math learning differently across high school students varying in math anxiety levels in a classroom context. I demonstrate that the shorter, compared to longer, anticipation before learning is associated with increased benefits of receiving a math lesson for higher math anxious individuals. Taken together, these findings advance our understanding of how and when math anxiety relates to math performance, and provide additional insights to educators on how to alleviate the negative effects of math anxiety.

Book Synopsis Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving by : Douglas B. McLeod
Download or read book Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving written by Douglas B. McLeod and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on cognitive aspects of mathematical problem solving has made great progress in recent years, but the relationship of affective factors to problem-solving performance has been a neglected research area. The purpose of Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving: A New Perspective is to show how the theories and methods of cognitive science can be extended to include the role of affect in mathematical problem solving. The book presents Mandler's theory of emotion and explores its implications for the learning and teaching of mathematical problem solving. Also, leading researchers from mathematics, education, and psychology report how they have integrated affect into their own cognitive research. The studies focus on metacognitive processes, aesthetic influences on expert problem solvers, teacher decision-making, technology and teaching problem solving, and beliefs about mathematics. The results suggest how emotional factors like anxiety, frustration, joy, and satisfaction can help or hinder performance in problem solving.

Book Synopsis The Cognitive Mechanism Underlying the Math Anxiety-performance Relationship in Early Elementary School by : Gerardo Ramirez
Download or read book The Cognitive Mechanism Underlying the Math Anxiety-performance Relationship in Early Elementary School written by Gerardo Ramirez and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math anxiety in adults impacts performance in mathematics as well as motivation to enter STEM disciplines, irrespective of math competence. Less is known about the link between math anxiety and achievement in younger students, the cognitive mechanism(s) that underlie this relation, and the social factors that contribute to the development of math anxiety. Across three studies, I address whether children report math anxiety as early as 1st and 2nd grade, the cognitive mechanism(s) that underlie a relation between math anxiety and math achievement, and whether a child's teacher might contribute to his/her math anxiety and his/her math performance across the school year they share. A within-subjects pre/post design with students (Studies 1 and 2) and their respective teachers (Study 3) was used. In Study 1, I find that 1st and 2nd graders show variability in their self-reported feelings of math anxiety, and further that children's math anxiety relates to math but not reading achievement. To address why this is the case, I ask whether the math anxiety-achievement relation is moderated by individual differences in working memory capacity. I find that children with higher working memory (WM) counter-intuitively show a more distinct negative math anxiety-achievement relation compared to their lower WM counterparts. In Study 2, I replicate the results of Study 1 with a larger sample of students using both linear regression and hierarchical linear modeling to account for classroom variation in achievement. I also turn towards the literature on individual differences in problem solving strategies to put forth an account of why children with higher WM demonstrate a more pronounced math anxiety-achievement relation. Lastly, in Study 3, I examine whether teachers' math anxiety relates to their students' growth in math achievement and their students' math anxiety across the school year. I find that teacher math anxiety is a significant negative predictor of girls' (but not boys') change in math achievement from the beginning to the end of the school year. However, I do not find evidence for a relation between teacher math anxiety and student math anxiety. This work provides the first empirical evidence of children's math anxiety early in development and its relation to math performance. These results will inform interventions designed to safeguard students from the detrimental effects of math anxiety.
