The Causal Relationship between Math Apprehension and Curricular Choices among Communication Students: An Experiment
This research analyzed the issue of math anxiety among communication students. Specifically, the study sought to test the causal relationship between math anxiety and the classes students would choose and professions they would consider. To test these hypotheses the study relied on the experimental research design. The study concluded that math apprehension did in fact have a strong influence on students' choice of classes and choice of their future professions.
