The purpose of the present study was to examine whether college students' working memory, math-self concept, and growth mindset play mediating roles between math anxiety and problem solving. Path analyses indicated that anxiety diminishes working memory resources and self-concept enhances motivation, but growth mindset is unrelated to performance.
