Mathematics anxiety and stereotype threat: shared mechanisms, negative consequences and promising interventions (2013, background): “In addition to the above research suggesting that mathematics anxiety may be socially transmitted, Maloney and colleagues (Maloney et al. 2010; Maloney et al. 2011; Maloney et al. 2012) have argued that some people may, in fact, be cognitively predisposed to develop mathematics anxiety.”
Mathematics Anxiety and Its Development in the Course of Formal Schooling—A Review (2013, background): “However, females’ higher anxiety levels may also be related to underlying sex differences in mathematics-associated competencies which, in turn, can be assumed to be related to the development of mathematics anxiety (e.g. spatial processing ability; Maloney et al., 2012).”
Math Performance and Academic Anxiety Forms, from Sociodemographic to Cognitive Aspects: a Meta-analysis on 906,311 Participants (2021, background): “In general, girls consistently reported significantly more anxiety than boys in terms of both MA (Ferguson et al., 2015; Hembree, 1990; Maloney et al., 2012) and TA (e.g. Putwain, 2007; Putwain & Daly, 2014; Zeidner & Schleyer, 1999).”
