Jameson, Molly M. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 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…

Nunez-Pena, M. Isabel; Suarez-Pellicioni, Macarena; Guilera, Georgina; Mercade-Carranza, Clara – Learning and Individual Differences, 2013
The aim of this study was to adapt and assess the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the sMARS in terms of evidence of validity and reliability of scores. The sMARS was administered to 342 students and, in order to assess convergent and discriminant validity, several subsamples completed a series of related tests. The factorial…

The Development and Validation of a Revised Version of the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Plake, Barbara S.; Parker, Claire S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982
A shortened version of the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS) was developed. It yielded a coefficient alpha reliability estimated at .98, correlated .97 with the original MARS, and showed relationships with state, trait, and test anxiety parallel to the original MARS. It should be useful for mathematical course-related applications.…
