Subclaims¶

q3 i3 ANCOVA controlling for IQ showed a significant group effect on self-image (F(3, 211) = 3.84, p < .05, ηp2 = .11, 1 - β = .81), with MLD children (M = 3.21) significantly lower than TA (M = 3.76) and HA (M = 3.98) children. → Lai Y 2015

Lai Y 2015¶

q3 · i3 · associational · r2

ANCOVA on four achievement groups (MLD n = 18, LA n = 29, TA subsample n = 30, HA n = 19) with IQ as covariate. LSD post hoc comparisons showed MLD self-image "significantly lower than TA and HA groups"; the MLD-LA difference was only approaching significance (p = .05).

"When controlling for IQ, the main effect of mathematics achievement group was significant, F (3, 211) = 3.84, p < .05, ηp 2 = .11, 1 - β = .81."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Children with MLD report higher learning mathematics anxiety than LA, TA, and HA peers, but not higher evaluation anxiety — related
• Self-image and learning mathematics anxiety, but not other metacognition dimensions or evaluation anxiety, predict mathematics achievement after controlling for IQ — related
• Math anxiety differs significantly across achievement groups, with MLD students not differing from low achievers — related
• Group differences in fraction comparison accuracy persist when full scale IQ is included as a covariate — related
