Abstract:

To test the reliability and validity of the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) in primary school students, a total of 3084 children from first grade to sixth grade were investigated with the Chinese version of Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS-C). Then, we obtained the formal scale through item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The formal scale includes two subscales, that is, math evaluation anxiety and learning math anxiety. The multi-group confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the AMAS-C reached full measurement invariant across Chinese primary school students’ gender, grade, and region. The finding indicates that the AMAS-C is a good valid and reliable instrument to assess mathematics anxiety of Chinese primary school students.

Key words: the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale, reliability, validity

摘要:

修订简版儿童数学焦虑量表,并在小学生群体中检验该量表的信效度。按照量表修订流程对3084名1~6年级小学儿童进行施测,通过项目分析、探索性和验证性因素分析对量表进行修订,最终形成了包含数学评估焦虑与学习数学焦虑两个维度的中文版简版儿童数学焦虑量表。进一步分析表明,中文版简版儿童数学焦虑量表具有良好的信效度,具有跨性别、年级和地区测量等值性,可作为测量我国小学儿童数学焦虑的有效工具。
