abstract
study participants: 320 grade ten advanced 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
from two school boards in northwestern ontario. math anxiety, math self-concept, math performances were studied. gender differences were also explored. this study analyzed the relationship among math anxiety, math self-concept and
performance in math. the study examined descriptive, and correlational relationships
among these variables, and explored gender differences in the relationship, math anxiety,
and math self-concept. three hundred and twenty grade 10 advanced 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
(174
female, 145 male) from two school boards in northwestern ontario served as subjects.
measures of correlation revealed that higher levels of math anxiety were accompanied by
lower performance in math, and lower math self -concept. higher math self-concept was
linked to higher performance. these relationships held for males and females separately.
math self-concept was significantly more closely linked to performance than was math
anxiety, and this was so for each gender separately. the correlations for math
anxiety/performance, and for math self-concept /performance were similar in magnitude
for both genders, indicating that math anxiety and math self-concept functioned similarly
for both males and females with respect to performance. t-tests revealed that females had
significantly higher math anxiety, and lower math self-concept than males.
