The AMATUS Dataset: Arithmetic Performance, Mathematics Anxiety and Attitudes in Primary School Teachers and University Students

Abstract

Although the mathematics anxiety-performance link has been extensively studied, its interplay with other emotional and attitude constructs is still unclear. The present dataset includes measures of mathematics anxiety and arithmetic performance alongside different types of anxiety (i.e., state, test, general anxiety and neuroticism), attitudes towards mathematics (i.e., mathematics self-concept, mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics-gender stereotype endorsement), and math-unrelated constructs among university students (N = 848) and primary school teachers (N = 258) from Germany and Belgium. The data is accessible in the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/gszpb/).
