Math anxiety is a highly prevalent problem in education that has consistently shown to lead to poor math performance. This study sought to investigate whether certain behaviours are predictive of math anxiety among students. This study…
Dealing with mathematics can induce significant anxiety, strongly affecting psychology students' academic performance and career prospects. This phenomenon is known as maths anxiety and several scales can measure it. Most scales were…
Math anxiety poses significant challenges for university psychology students, affecting their career choices and overall well-being. This study employs a framework based on behavioural forma mentis networks (i.e. cognitive models that map…
The level of test anxiety in mathematics subjects among early undergraduate students at The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus is studied in this paper. The sample consists of 206 students taking several mathematics modules who…
Public attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) and driving safety are typically studied in isolation using variable-centered methods that assume population homogeneity, yet risk perception theory predicts that these evaluations covary…
Recent efforts to identify non-cognitive predictors of academic achievement have especially focused on self-constructs, whose measurement is concerned with a specific domain (e.g., mathematics). However, other important factors, such as…
Individuals high in social anxiety symptoms often exhibit elevated state anxiety in social situations. Research has shown it is possible to detect state anxiety by leveraging digital biomarkers and machine learning techniques. However, most…
Math anxiety is a clinical pathology impairing cognitive processing in math-related contexts. Originally thought to affect only inexperienced, low-achieving students, recent investigations show how math anxiety is vastly diffused even among…
Background - Social anxiety (SA) is a common and debilitating condition, negatively affecting life quality even at sub-diagnostic thresholds. We sought to characterize SA's acoustic signature using hypothesis-testing and machine learning…
Large language models (LLMs) have advanced the development of personalized learning in education. However, their inherent generation mechanisms often produce homogeneous responses to identical prompts. This one-size-fits-all mechanism…
Anxiety disorder is one of the world's most prevalent mental health conditions, arising from complex interactions of biological and environmental factors and severely interfering one's ability to lead normal life activities. Current methods…
More and more people are experiencing pressure from work, life, and education. These pressures often lead to an anxious state of mind, or even the early symptoms of suicidal ideation. With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI)…
Math anxiety negatively relates to math performance. This negative relationship may be exacerbated in low-progress math learners. However, there are limited studies on math anxiety among low progress learners in a paradoxically high…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly consulted by parents for pediatric guidance, yet their safety under real-world adversarial pressures is poorly understood. Anxious parents often use urgent language that can compromise model…
The Physics Lab Inventory of Critical Thinking (PLIC) measures three components of students' critical thinking in physics labs: evaluating data, evaluating methods, and proposing next steps. Prior work has analyzed these components in…
This study examined the influence of computer anxiety on the academic performance of junior secondary school students in Computer Studies in Nigeria. The research instrument that was used in the study was computer anxiety scale which was…
Children under 11 are often regarded as too young to comprehend the implications of online privacy. Perhaps as a result, little research has focused on younger kids' risk recognition and coping. Such knowledge is, however, critical for…
Through co-design interviews ($N=19$) and a design evaluation survey (N=136) with U.S. teens ages 13-18, we investigated teens' privacy management on social media. Our study revealed that 28% of teens with public accounts and 15% with…
Background: Organizations are experiencing an increasing demand for security-by-design activities (e.g., STRIDE analyses) which require a high manual effort. This situation is worsened by the current lack of diverse (and sufficient)…
Math anxiety is negatively correlated with student performance and can result in avoidance of further math/STEM classes and careers. Cooperative learning (i.e., group work) is a proven strategy that can reduce math anxiety and has…
