Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to explore statistics anxiety among students in Singapore and the effect of individual differences on statistics anxiety. Participants were 65 psychology undergraduates (64% female) enrolled in two statistics courses at James Cook University, Singapore campus. A series of t-tests revealed that the current sample reported significantly lower statistics anxiety than the UK sample but higher statistics anxiety than samples from China and Austria. MANOVA revealed a significant interaction effect between gender and prior statistics experience for the Computation Self-Concept Factor of statistics anxiety. Practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
