Measuring statistics anxiety using a stage theory.
Abstract
To test a stage theory of statistics anxiety, we developed three scales to measure statistics anxiety at the input (Statistical Input Anxiety Scale), processing (Statistical Processing Anxiety Scale), and output (Statistical Output Anxiety Scale) stages of the learning process in statistics courses. This study examined the psychometric properties of these three scales among 90 African-American graduate students. Partial evidence of construct-related validity was provided via exploratory factor analysis, which revealed one specific factor for each scale. Also, score reliability coefficients were borderline. Implications are discussed.
