Anxiety and self-efficacy in mathematics as a function of sex and mathematical background were investigated. This study employed an ex post facto 2 x 2 factorial design in which sex and mathematical background were classification variables. It was predicted that men would report lower anxiety scores and higher self-efficacy scores than women and that students with a high mathematical background would report lower anxiety scores and higher self-efficacy scores than those with a low background in mathematics. An interaction between sex and mathematical background was also predicted. 51 subjects were given the revised Mathematics Anxiety Scale and the Mathematics Self-efficacy Scale. Results supported the hypotheses with respect to background in mathematics for anxiety in mathematics, and all of the hypotheses were supported for self-efficacy in mathematics.
研究了焦虑和数学自我效能感作为性别和数学背景的函数关系。本研究采用事后2×2析因设计，其中性别和数学背景为分类变量。预计男性的焦虑得分会低于女性，自我效能得分会高于女性，且数学背景高的学生的焦虑得分会低于数学背景低的学生，自我效能得分会高于后者。还预计性别和数学背景之间会存在交互作用。51名受试者接受了修订后的数学焦虑量表和数学自我效能量表。结果支持了关于数学背景与数学焦虑的假设，且所有关于数学自我效能的假设均得到支持。
