(2022). A General Math Anxiety Measure. Education Sciences. 12. 6.https://mro.massey.ac.nz/handle/10179/70759Math anxiety is a psychological burden that can hinder individuals across their lifetimes. However, the current literature lacks a valid measure of math anxiety that can be used across instructional modalities and among non-student populations. As such, it is difficult to assess math anxiety in virtual learning environments, track math anxiety across lifetimes, or determine the utility of math anxiety inoculations for non-student populations. This study presents a validity portfolio for a generalized math anxiety measure that can be used across teaching modalities, across lifetimes, and is simple enough to be used cross-culturally. The measure yielded evidence of validity when used in all tested samples: the United States (student and non-student samples), New Zealand (student and non-student samples), Kyrgyzstan (non-student sample), Turkey (non-student sample), Russia (non-student sample), and Thailand (non-student sample). The data support the use of the new math anxiety measure free of context.(c) 2022 The Author/sCC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/math anxietyvaliditymeasurementcross-culturalJournal article10.3390/educsci120603702227-7102journal-article370
