“…This result is consistent with previous studies using the original version of SATS-36 (e.g. [9]) and the adapted version of SATS-36 (e.g., [14]). However, conditions of reliability and validity were not met for the sample of respondents in this study.…”

“…Studies have employed various analysis methods and techniques including confirmatory factor analysis [9], [12], ordinary least squares regression [11], tight data analysis approach [10] and Mardia's test for multivariate normality [13]. Besides investigating different groups of students such as the educational sciences students [12], industrial and organizational psychology students [9] and political science students [14], past studies have involved students from various countries such as South Africa [9], United States [10] and Australia [13].…”

Students’ attitudes towards statistics have been more often negative due to many factors such as initial perception of the subject, low ability in mathematics and lack of motivation to study statistics. Studies involving SATS-36 included investigation of the different factors in relation to students’ attitude towards statistics. Other studies have investigated the structure of SATS-36 and the relationship between the different components of SATS-36. The research investigated the reliability and validity of SATS-36 for a sample of matriculation students. Results showed that while reliability and validity is maintained for the instrument, it is not the case for the sample of respondents.

“…Even if statistics is a basic tool for the development of research studies, it is a complicated and difficult tool to use. This situation causes psychology students who have to study statistics to experience anxiety before this subject, which can negatively influence their learning (Khavenson, Orel, & Tryakshina, 2012).…”

This article reports a study that analyzed the role of statistics in the scientific production of Ecuadorian psychology based on a mixed methodology study. The sample included 410 participants (students and professionals of different cities of Ecuador). The findings on the quantitative phase included that liking and mastering statistical processes increase the probability of publishing a scientific article. Moreover, when negative belief variables and anxiety related to statistics have a higher score, the mastery of statistical processes and its use for the job of the psychologist decrease. On the qualitative phase, a significance emerged that allowed to better understand quantitative data, and to develop categories on statistics erroneous' believes, procedures, a negative predisposition towards learning statistics and others. The paper concludes by analyzing the scientific reality of Ecuadorian psychology and the need to carry out longitudinal research where it will be possible to restructure subjective constructions on the role of statistics in psychology.

“…Researchers have also identified other factors such as perfectionism , procrastination (Onwuegbuzie, 2004) and level of self-esteem that contribute to statistics anxiety. Environment factors include gender, age, ethnicity, race, and country of origin (Onwuegbuzie 2003;Khavenson, Orel and Tryakshina, 2012;Vahedi, et al, 2012). In this study, the researchers considered dispositional antecedents (procrastination and perfectionism) and environmental antecedent (gender) and corresponding relationships and differences where it deemed fit.…”

This study contended that learning statistics and its rudiments were perceived as complicated compared to some other courses offered at the university level. Further, this investigation contested the existence of statistics anxiety among postgraduate students in an in-site university setting. Relationships and differences were determined in this study utilizing the constructs of antecedents of statistics anxiety namely academic procrastination, perfectionism, and gender. The objectives were (1) to establish the relationship between academic procrastination and statistics anxiety; (2) to find out the relationship between perfectionism and statistics anxiety; and (3) to investigate the differences between gender and statistics anxiety. The data from randomly selected 136 postgrad students (Kampala International University, Uganda) referring to dispositional (procrastination and perfectionism) and environmental antecedents (gender) and statistics anxiety were scientifically elicited, processed and analyzed utilizing the quantitativepost positivist's research paradigm model. The findings revealed a positive but insignificant relationship between academic procrastination and statistics anxiety; a significant adverse correlation between perfectionism and statistics anxiety; an insignificant positive correlation existed between gender and statistics anxiety, and differences in statistics anxiety between the female and male students existed. Notably from the results then, academic procrastination did not significantly affect the students' statistics anxiety; the students with higher levels of perfectionism tended to have lower levels of statistics anxiety while the levels of statistics anxiety among the female students were slightly greater than that of the male students.
