Çeşitli Başa Çıkma Yolları ile Matematik Kaygısı Arasındaki İlişki

Bu çalışmanın amacı matematik kaygısı ve bu kaygıyla başa çıkmada kullanılan çeşitli başa çıkma yolları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Araştırma, Başa çıkma Yolları Ölçeği ve Güncelleştirilmiş Matematik Kaygısı Ölçeğini yanıtlayan 559 üniversite öğrencisi üzerinde yapılmıştır. Çok değişkenli varyans analizi kullanılarak yapılan incelemeler sonucunda öğrencilerin kullandıkları başa çıkma yollarına bağlı olarak matematik kaygısı düzeylerinde farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Örneğin, Uzaklaşma başa çıkma yolunu kullanan öğrencilerin matematik kaygılarının daha düşük oldukları; Sorumluluk Kabul Etme başa çıkma yolunu kullanan öğrencilerin ise matematik kaygılarının daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Son olarak, araştırma sonuçları matematik kaygısının alt boyutları bağlamında tartışılmıştır.

The Relationship Between Different Ways of Coping and Mathematics Anxiety

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationships between different coping strategies and mathematics anxiety. Five hundred fifty nine college students responded to the Ways of Coping Questionnaire and the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Scale. Multivariate differences were found on Distancing, where students who used it scored lower on Mathematics Test Anxiety. Students who used Accepting Responsibility scored higher on Mathematics Test Anxiety. Differences on Mathematics Test Anxiety and Numerical Task Anxiety were found on Escape-avoidance in that students who used this coping strategy scored higher. Students who used Positive Reappraisal had lower Mathematics Test Anxiety. Findings are discussed.
