q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Moderation analysis of gender (16 studies; 21 male and 21 female independent samples). The relationship was "only slightly stronger in females than in males" (B = .09, p = .075), not statistically significant. No effect size for the moderator difference is printed.

"gender was not found to be a significant moderator of the relationship between math performance and math anxiety, as the relationship between math performance and math anxiety was only slightly stronger in females than in males, B =. 0 9 ,p = .075."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Academic Anxiety — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
• Gender — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group
