Validation of the state- and trait-MAQ in Chile

Together with great colleagues Anabel Fernández-Blanco, Cristian A. Rojas-Barahona from the University of Talca in Chile and Macarena Dib from Deakin University Melbourne, Australia, an article was published this summer 2023 in Current Psychology. The article validates the State-MAQ and Trait-MAQ questionnaires for assessing mathematics anxiety in Chile, enabling the use of a valid instrument in Spanish-speaking Latin American countries. Many thanks for the great collaboration, Annabel, Cristian and Macarena. (Photocopyright by Current Psychology)
