ABSTRACT: Mathematics anxiety will not only affect the healthy development of
individuals, but also affect the cognitive development of mathematics.
Therefore the study of mathematics anxiety has important practical
significance. In order to understand the
situation of mathematics anxiety among sophomores in Shandong University
and explore the correlation between mathematics anxiety and major of
mathematics, this paper adopts the method of questionnaire survey and data
analysis. It is found that students’ mathematics anxiety exists in four
dimensions of “Mathematics Class”, “Mathematics Test”, “Mathematics Problem Solving”
and “Overall Feeling of Mathematics”, and there are differences among different
majors. Accordingly, some suggestions are put forward to lower mathematics
anxiety levels.
