New Paper in Lernen und Lernstörungen
Excited to share our new paper, published in collaboration with my wonderful colleagues Annemarie Fritz and Florian Schmitz! We show that commonly used math anxiety questionnaires in children differ not only in structure but also in how they relate to math performance. Gender differences and associations with fluency vary across instruments. Suggesting that some of the inconsistencies in MA research may actually be rooted in the tools we use to measure it.

It is a privilege to share this award with my former colleague from the Chair of Educational Psychology at the University of Duisburg Essen, Dr Moritz Herzog. (Photocopyright by BVL)
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)

Two New Publications in Brain Sciences and Frontiers in Education
Recently, two new articles appeared in Brain Sciences and Frontiers in Education. While one article addresses the interplay between anxiety and attention, the review provides an overview of intervention options to reduce math anxiety. Specifically thanks to the great co-authors and the academic editors.
