Math Anxiety in Students With and Without Math Learning Difficulties (2019, background): “These include lack of the appropriate mathematical background of the students, study habits of memorizing formulas, problems and applications that are not related to real life, challenging and time limited exams, lack of concrete materials, difficulty of some subjects in mathematics, type of persona”
Vicious Cycles of Identifying and Mathematizing: A Case Study of the Development of Mathematical Failure (2015, background): “Math anxiety has been the focus of numerous studies (Hembree, 1990; Hoffman, 2010; Ma, 1999; Meece, Wigfield, & Eccles, 1990) that have pointed to its higher prevalence in girls than in boys (Wigfield & Meece, 1988) and that have often found it to be correlated with lower achievements in mathematics”
Psychometric properties of the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) in Italian primary school children (2017, background): “(e.g. Hoffman, 2010; Kesici & Erdogan, 2010; Maloney, Ansari, & Fugelsang, 2011; Rubinsten & Tannock, 2010): the final picture resulted in a complex puzzle in which MA represents a tough source of individual differences in children's mathematical performance in which also negative experiences with…”
Mathematics anxiety in young children: Concurrent and longitudinal associations with mathematical performance (2013, background): “…been examined in individuals from 6th through 12th grade both in the United States (e.g., Bai, Wang, Pan, & Frey, 2009; Ganley & Vasilyeva, 2011; Hoffman, 2010; Mulhern & Rae, 1998; Wigfield & Meece, 1988), as well as in international samples including China and Taiwan (Ho et al., 2000), Turkey…”
Mathematics Anxiety: What Have We Learned in 60 Years? (2016, background): “Most studies indicate a negative relationship between mathematics self-concept and mathematics anxiety (Hembree, 1990; Pajares and Miller, 1994; Jain and Dowson, 2009; Goetz et al., 2010; Hoffman, 2010).”
Developing mathematical resilience (2010, background): “Our experience echoes the literature (e.g. Ashcraft, 2002, Baloglu,& Koçak, 2006 and Hoffman 2010) in indicating that many people find it difficult to take part in mathematical learning, to the point that they exhibit phobia or anxiety, or at least avoidance from engaging in any activity that could…”
