Maths anxiety (AMAS)
How much anxiety maths stirs in you — while learning it, and when tested.
The Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (Hopko, Mahadevan, Bare & Hunt, 2003) is a validated nine-item measure of maths anxiety with two factors: anxiety while learning maths, and anxiety when being evaluated on it. (Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS))
Dimensions
- Learning anxiety (At ease – Anxious) — How anxious you feel while learning or doing maths — following a lesson, reading a textbook, or working through a problem.
- Evaluation anxiety (At ease – Anxious) — How anxious you feel when your maths is tested or judged — sitting an exam, being put on the spot, or having your working checked.
