輔導諮商系所學生統計焦慮相關變項之研究－性別、年級、數學興趣、統計成績、統計自信心與統計焦慮的關係
摘要
The purpose of this study was to explore the roles of gender, grade level, mathematical interest, grades in statistics, and statistical self-confidence in relation to statistical anxiety among college and graduate students in counseling. Three hundred fifty-two undergraduate and graduate students at a university in central Taiwan voluntarily participated in the study. There were 81 (23.1%) males and 269 (76.9%) females, (two of the participants did not identify their gender), with an average age of 23. This study found that females reported higher levels of statistical anxiety than males among the following factors: cognitive domain, physical reaction, statistics testing anxiety, and lacking statistical self confidence. This study also found that students whose grades in statistics were 69 and under reported higher levels of statistical anxiety than those students whose grades in statistics were 80 and over among the following factors: cognitive domain, physical reaction, statistics testing anxiety, and lacking statistical self confidence. Students whose grades in statistics were between 70 and 79 reported higher levels of statistical anxiety than those students whose grades in statistics were 80 and over among the following factors: cognitive domain and statistics testing anxiety. In addition, this study found that students less interested in mathematics reported higher levels of statistical anxiety than those students with moderate and strong mathematical interest among the following factors: cognitive domain, physical reaction, statistics testing anxiety, and lacking statistical self confidence. Students with moderate mathematical interest reported higher levels of statistical anxiety than those students with strong mathematical interest among the following factors: cognitive domain, physical reaction, statistics testing anxiety, and lacking statistical self confidence. Furthermore, this study found positive correlations among mathematical interest, lacking stati
