Relationship between Mathematics PST' Self-Efficacy and Anxiety: Investigating the Mediating Role of Mathematical Resilience

Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2022, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

This quantitative survey study investigates the mediating role of mathematical resilience on the relationship between preservice mathematics teachers' mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics anxiety. The data was gathered from 149 respondents gathered through convenience sampling. They answered the adapted Mathematics Self-Efficacy and Anxiety Questionnaire (MSEAQ) and the Mathematical Resilience Scale via Google Form. A correlation was used to investigate the relationship between mathematics self-efficacy and mathematical resilience, which revealed a significant positive relationship. The result of the mediation analysis revealed that mathematics self-efficacy has a direct and indirect effect on mathematics anxiety, with mathematical resilience as its mediator. It suggests that students with higher self-efficacy likely report higher mathematical resilience, lowering their mathematics anxiety.
