• Mathematics Anxiety and the Affective Drop in Performance (2009, background): “…reaction to situations involving numbers, math, and mathematics calculations, “a feeling of tension and anxiety that interferes with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems in a wide variety of ordinary life and academic situations” (Richardson & Suinn, 1972, p. 551).”
• Mathematics Anxiety: What Have We Learned in 60 Years? (2016, methodology): “Neither absolute levels or cortisol nor patterns of change in cortisol production correlated with the MARS, with the arithmetical tests, or with performance in the examination itself.”
• The Development and Part Validation of a U.K. Scale for Mathematics Anxiety (2011, methodology): “Rounds and Hendel (1980) performed principal-axis factoring on 94 of the 98 items on the MARS and found 2 factors, with oblique and orthogonal rotations resulting in similar outcomes.”
• The Development and Validation of the Children’s Anxiety in Math Scale (2013, methodology): “To assess math anxiety in adolescent and adult samples, the 98-item Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS; Richardson & Suinn, 1972) was the predominant math anxiety scale for several decades; a shortened version, the 25-item sMARS (Ashcraft & Kirk, 2001), and an even shorter scale, the nine-item…”
• Mathematics anxiety in young children: Concurrent and longitudinal associations with mathematical performance (2013, methodology): “Mathematics anxiety refers to feelings of tension or worry that interfere with mathematical performance in daily life and school settings (e.g., Richardson & Suinn, 1972; Wigfield & Meece, 1988).”
