The Development and Validation of the Children's Anxiety in Math Scale
Jameson, Molly M.
Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, v31 n4 p391-395 Aug 2013
Math anxiety has been historically overlooked in samples of children. This may be due in part to the lack of appropriate tools to measure anxiety in young children. The current exploratory study reports on the development and examination of reliability, validity, and factor structure of a new tool to measure math anxiety in young children. The findings of this exploratory study suggest that the Children's Anxiety in Math Scale is a reliable and valid measure to assess math anxiety in children as young as first grade. (Contains 1 table.)
