Effects of a Girls-Only Curriculum During Adolescence: Performance, Persistence, and Engagement in Mathematics and Science (2003, background): “A significant danger of math anxiety is that it may predispose students toward avoiding math and math-related courses, so that once mandatory courses are complete, the students do not enroll in elective math and science courses (Gliner, 1987; Tobias, 1978, 1993).”

Metaphor or Met-Before? The effects of previouos experience on practice and theory of learning mathematics (2010, background): “…experiences in mathematics classes, poor teaching based on learning rules that are not understood, poor preparation for tests, anxiety at being asked to do mathematical problems in front of the class, fear of failure, poor selfimage, poor memory (Tobias, 1978; Betz, 1978; Ashcraft & Kirk, 2001).”

Addressing math anxiety in the classroom (2014, background): “According to Sheila Tobias (2013), ‘math anxiety is a response, over time, to stress in the math classroom where tests are frequently given under time pressure, in the home where there is competition with siblings, or at the workplace’ (Posamentier, Smith, & Stepelman, 2010, p. 3).”
An embodied agent helps anxious students in mathematics learning (2017, background): “The emotional component explains nervousness, tension, fear, and discomfort, which are manifested by physiological signals and feelings (Adams, 2001; Morris, Davis, & Hutchings, 1981).”
Development and Validation of the Mathematical Resilience Scale (2016, background): “The student may perceive that they are unable to learn the mathematics beyond some degree of rote memorization; they may have performance anxiety during class or on a test, or math anxiety (Chamberlin, 2010; Hembree, 1990; Richardson & Suinn, 1972; Tobias, 1978).”

The Mathematically Able as a Marked Category (2000, background): “These arguments are present in most work on women, mathematics, and education, sometimes explicitly (e.g. Sells, 1976; Tobias, 1978; Stage et al., 1985; Sadker & Sadker, 1994), and more often implicitly.”
