Abstract

145 students participated in a study examining left and right hemisphere performance, math anxiety and self-efficacy for writing. Higher right hemisphere task scores predicted lower math anxiety scores, while there was no relationship between the left hemisphere task and math anxiety. Neither hemispheric task predicted self-efficacy for writing.
