Abstract

A pervasive byproduct of math anxiety is avoidance. Individuals with math anxiety avoid math courses and occupations. Identifying individuals that are predisposed can allow for targeted interventions. A regression was conducted to test the extent to which demographic, personality, and psychological factors are predictive of math anxiety in undergraduate students.
