Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Correlations between the AMAS self-report questionnaire and the congruency effect in the numerical dot-probe task were non-significant; equivalence was not tested. → Daches Cohen L and Rubinsten O 2017

Pearson correlation analysis in the study of 27 sixth graders. The article reports "correlations between explicit and implicit measures of math anxiety were found to be non-significant ( ps between 0.13 and 0.23)", contrasting with a significant correlation (r= 0.40) found by Rubinsten et al. (2015) using the MARS-R.
"Critically, correlations between explicit and implicit measures of math anxiety were found to be non-significant ( ps between 0.13 and 0.23)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Children's arithmetic skills are the strongest predictor of their explicitly measured math anxiety, with higher skills associated with lower anxiety — related
- Implicitly measured math anxiety (attentional bias) in children is predicted by environmental factors, specifically mothers' numerical task anxiety and maternal pressure — related
- Preliminary evidence of intergenerational transmission of math anxiety: mothers' math anxiety relates to children's lower intrinsic math motivation and stronger attentional bias toward math stimuli — related
- Intrinsic math motivation is positively correlated with arithmetic skills and negatively correlated with explicitly measured math anxiety in sixth graders — related
