q3 i? Bivariate correlations showed teachers' years of experience was negatively correlated with their ELA (r = −.67) and mathematics (r = −.46) anxiety but showed no significant association with their science anxiety (r = .04). → McLean 2023

Preliminary bivariate correlation analysis (Table 2) among the 33-teacher sample. The printed correlations are r = −.67 (ELA) and r = −.46 (math), both p < .01, and r = .04 (science, non-significant); the ELA correlation exceeds |r| = .37 and the mathematics one |r| = .20.

"teachers' years of experience was negatively correlated with their ELA and mathematics anxiety but showed no association with their science anxiety."
