Notes
A
study
was
performed
using
a
convenience
sample
of
90
students
at a
northeastern
community
college
to
determine
gender
differences
of
math
anxiety
and its
effect
on
math
avoidance
.
Four
sections
of an
introductory
English
class
were
given
a
mathematics
anxiety
rating
scale
(MARS)
and a
math
avoidance
survey
.
Five
hypotheses
were
analyzed
using
both
standard
normal
distribution
tests
and
chi-square
contingency
tables
.
It
was
determined
that
men
reported
significantly
less
math
anxiety
and
sought
significantly
less
help
with
math
than
women
.
Men
and
women
were
equivalent
in
avoiding
taking
required
math
courses
.
Women
avoided
majors
requiring
two
or
more
math
courses
,
significantly
more
than
men
.
Perception
of
math
difficulty
was not
associated
with
math
anxiety
.
Although
there were
few
participants
with
both
high
levels
of
math
anxiety
and
math
avoidance
,
inspection
of
scatter
diagrams
suggest
that
men
with
high
MARS
scores
and
women
of
all
MARS
scores
are at
risk
to
avoid
math
courses
.
It
is
concluded
that the
MARS
,
represents
a
moderately
useful
measure
for
school
professionals
to
predict
men's
math
avoidance
, and to a
lesser
degree
women's
math
avoidance
.
Literature
suggests
that
societal
norms
may
be
more
influential
than
math
anxiety
in
explaining
women's
math
avoidance
.
