Modeling Statistics Achievement among Graduate Students (2003, background): “…graduate students enrolled in programs worldwide that represent the social and behavioral sciences are required to take at least one statistics course and/or a quantitative-based research methodology course as part of their degrees (Feinberg & Halperin, 1978; Onwuegbuzie & Wilson, 2003).”
COGNITIVE AND NON-COGNITIVE FACTORS RELATED TO STUDENTS’ STATISTICS ACHIEVEMENT (2010, neutral): “Statistical Anxiety Rating Scale (STARS) Although statistics anxiety has sometimes been measured by scales created to assess academic anxiety or mathematics anxiety, several specific instruments were proposed to measure it (for a review see Carmona, 2004b; Onwuegbuzie & Wilson, 2000).”
What Does Research Suggest About the Teaching and Learning of Introductory Statistics at the College Level? A Review of the Literature (2008, background): “Onwuegbuzie and Wilson (2003) define statistics anxiety as "anxiety which occurs when a student encounters statistics in any form and at any level (p. 196)" – in other words, anxiety and negative feelings elicited by statistics in general that may hinder performance on statistics-related tasks.”
USING REAL-LIFE DATA WHEN TEACHING STATISTICS: STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF THIS STRATEGY IN AN INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS COURSE (2013, background): “Such factors appear particularly important for students studying social science degrees because many of them have negative attitudes or anxiety towards statistics (Onwuegbuzie & Wilson, 2003; Tremblay, Gardner, & Heipel, 2000).”

(2007, background): “…students in the social and behavioral sciences, including the field of school psychology, are required to take at least one statistics course as a necessary part of their degree programs (Onwuegbuzie & Wilson, 2003) in which they learn both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques.”
The structure of the statistics anxiety rating scale: A confirmatory factor analysis using UK psychology students (2008, methodology): “The statistical anxiety rating scale or STARS developed by Cruise et al. (1985) is currently the most widely used measure for assessing statistics anxiety (Onwuegbuzie and Wilson, 2003).”
Anxiety and Attitude of Graduate Students in On-Campus vs. Online Statistics Courses (2010, background): “It has also been reported that the percentage of graduate students experiencing uncomfortable levels of statistics anxiety is between 66% and 80% (Onwuegbuzie and Wilson, 2003).”
