Undergraduate Statistics Anxiety Survey Data from Caribbean Tertiary Education

520.8 KB of survey data examines the relationship between class attendance, perceived learning resource utility, and statistics anxiety among undergraduate students. The quasi-experimental study collected pre-test and post-test measurements within an introductory statistics course. Analysis revealed negative correlations between post-test anxiety scores and factors like perceived mathematics competence and statistical self-efficacy.

Use Cases

• Analyze the correlation between post-test statistics anxiety scores and reported statistical self-efficacy.
• Investigate how class attendance data predicts changes in statistics anxiety scores from pre-test to post-test.
• Examine the relationship between perceived competence in mathematics and reported statistics anxiety levels.
• Study the impact of class size on anxiety reduction using survey responses from a quasi-experimental design.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a structured quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test measurements.
• The dataset includes multiple psychological constructs: statistics anxiety, statistical self-efficacy, and perceived mathematics competence.
• Files are provided in analysis-ready formats like SAV (SPSS) and SPV alongside documentation.

Limitations

• The dataset is small in scale at 520.8 KB, limiting the scope for complex modeling or subgroup analysis.
• Geographic coverage is specific to Caribbean tertiary education, which may limit generalizability to other regions.
• The specific number of survey respondents (rows) and variables (columns) is not provided in the input.
