Math Performance and Academic Anxiety Forms, from Sociodemographic to Cognitive Aspects: a Meta-analysis on 906,311 Participants

Sara Caviola et al.

Summary: The relationship between anxiety and mathematics, specifically math anxiety (MA) and test anxiety (TA), has been consistently studied in literature. This meta-analysis found that both MA and TA significantly impact mathematics performance, with working memory mediating this relationship to a weak extent. Sociodemographic factors play a modest moderating role.

An examination of gender differences in spatial skills and math attitudes in relation to mathematics success: A bio-psycho-social model

Beth M. Casey et al.

Summary: This article discusses gender differences in math and potential influencing factors, proposing a bio-psycho-social theory that emphasizes the relative tilt in patterns of brain organization relating to spatial versus verbal abilities as a key player in gender differences in math behaviors and attitudes.

Dopaminergic associations between behavioral inhibition, executive functioning, and anxiety in development

Kelley E. Gunther et al.

Summary: Temperamental Behavioral Inhibition (BI) is a well-established risk factor for social anxiety, but not all BI children will show anxious symptoms. The role of inhibitory control levels as a risk or protective factor for these children is debated, with mixed research findings on whether higher levels of inhibitory control may increase or decrease the risk of developing anxiety. The idea of elevated inhibitory control as a risk factor for maladaptation contradicts prior beliefs about the advantages of proficient inhibitory control.

Depressive Symptoms among Middle-Aged Women-Understanding the Cause

Anna M. Cybulska et al.

Summary: Menopause is a significant event in a woman's life marked by hormonal changes that impact her body functions. The decrease in estrogen levels during this period is linked to depressive symptoms and mood disorders. The severity of depressive symptoms experienced by middle-aged women is influenced by various factors, including sociodemographic data and genetic variables.

Development of children's math attitudes: Gender differences, key socializers, and intervention approaches

Susan C. Levine et al.

Summary: The relationship between math attitudes and math achievement has been extensively studied in adolescents and adults, and recently in young children as well. Early math achievement plays a significant role in shaping positive or negative math attitudes in children, as well as gender differences in math attitudes. Parents and teachers' math attitudes are also key factors in influencing children's attitudes and achievements in math. Future research should focus on understanding how socializers with different math attitudes engage with children, and intervention approaches to improve young children's math achievement and attitudes have shown promise.

The Catecholaldehyde Hypothesis for the Pathogenesis of Catecholaminergic Neurodegeneration: What We Know and What We Do Not Know

David S. Goldstein

Summary: DOPAL serves as a key player in the catecholaldehyde hypothesis, exhibiting autotoxicity and close association with Alzheimer's disease. Detoxification conversion mediated by ALDH can mitigate the harmful effects of DOPAL. Interactions between DOPAL and αS lead to neurodegeneration, offering a new perspective for treating Parkinson's disease.

Associations of age, sex, sexual abuse, and genotype with monoamine oxidase a gene methylation

David Checknita et al.

Summary: This study found that women displayed higher levels of methylation than men within the first intronic/exonic regions of the MAOA gene, and this difference did not decrease with age. Age and MAOA genotypes had limited impact on the methylation levels.

Assessing math anxiety in elementary schoolchildren through a Spanish version of the Scale for Early Mathematics Anxiety (SEMA)

Noelia Sanchez-Perez et al.

Summary: This study developed a European-Spanish version of the Scale for Early Mathematics Anxiety and evaluated its psychometric properties in children aged 7 to 12 years. The results showed that this scale is a reliable and valid measure for assessing math anxiety in children from 3rd to 6th grade. Gender differences were explored, and a negative association between math anxiety and math achievement was found.

Test anxiety components: an intra-individual approach testing their control antecedents and effects on performance

Anna-Lena Roos et al.

Summary: This study investigated different test anxiety components and found that control was negatively related to all anxiety components, with varying impact on performance. Common single-item anxiety measures seem to primarily assess the affective component, while the cognitive component is more crucial for test performance. Therefore, it is recommended to distinguish between anxiety components based on the research question at hand.
