Child Reading and Math Anxiety Survey Data with Intelligence and Time Pressure Measures

A dataset of 311 third- and fourth-grade students (51.4% girls) collected for a study on domain-specific anxiety. The data includes responses to domain-specific state and trait anxiety questionnaires, reading and math achievement tests under timed and untimed conditions, and a measure of fluid intelligence. The dataset was authored by Lars Orbach and last updated on 2026-05-08.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between trait anxiety and academic performance based on domain-specific anxiety measures.
• Analyzing the impact of time pressure on state anxiety changes using pre- and post-test assessments.
• Investigating the moderating role of fluid intelligence on anxiety-performance relations described in the study.

Strengths

• Includes data from 311 child participants, providing a substantive sample size.
• Captures multiple dimensions: state and trait anxiety, fluid intelligence, and performance under two testing conditions.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying data tables is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small at 118.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
