COGNITIVE AND NON-COGNITIVE FACTORS RELATED TO STUDENTS’ STATISTICS ACHIEVEMENT (2010, methodology): “Keywords: Statistics education research; Statistics attitudes; Statistics anxiety; Mathematical competence; Structural equation modeling”
Suppressor Variables in Social Work Research: Ways to Identify in Multiple Regression Models (2010, background): “These and other examples (Caputo, 2000; Korn & Maggs, 2004; Onwuegbuzie, 2001; Voyer, 1996) point to the routine encounter of suppression variables in social work research, but recognition of this encounter is sparse.”
Anxiety in undergraduate research methods courses: its nature and implications (2008, background): “Dispositional factors are related to self‐concept and level of self‐esteem; such factors have been found to be important contributors to statistical anxiety (Onwuegbuzie 2000a ).”
Advances in test anxiety research (2004, background): “Furthermore, it may be ‘‘hidden’’ under names related to more specific forms of test anxiety*/math anxiety (e.g., Ashcraft and Kirk, 2001) or statistics anxiety (e.g., Onwuegbuzie, 2000), for instance.”
Individual differences in arithmetic (2012, background): “In older children and adults, mathematics anxiety is negatively related to self-ratings in mathematics and related subjects (Onwuegbuzie, 2000); although as stated earlier, Thomas and Dowker (2000) failed to find such a relationship in 6- and 8-year-olds.”
“Do I need research skills in working life?”: University students’ motivation and difficulties in quantitative methods courses (2008, background): “Onwuegbuzie 2000 ). Such problems may also be due to other factors, such as beliefs and conceptions about research that may be fostered by peers and society.”
Learning Might Not Equal Liking: Research Methods Course Changes Knowledge but Not Attitudes (2009, background): “Other researchers have found that measured anxiety regarding statistics is inversely associated with self-efficacy or perceived competence (Onwuegbuzie, 2000; Thompson & Smith, 1982).”
Academic procrastination and statistics anxiety (2004, background): “…methodology courses, high procrastinators experience extreme elevations in statistics anxiety, because these classes threaten their self-esteem (Onwuegbuzie, 2000b), levels of hope (Onwuegbuzie, 1998b), and the like, which result from the perception that these courses are too difficult, as…”
