Effects of demographic variables on mathematics self-esteem, test anxiety, and achievement in adolescents: a Bayesian beta regression analysis
BackgroundMathematics achievement is shaped not only by cognitive skills but also by psychological factors such as self-esteem and test anxiety. Demographic characteristics, including gender, age, and school location, may further moderate these relationships, yet limited research has explored these…
