This study aims to understand how the fear of negative evaluation can influence mathematics performance in children and adolescents aged 10 to 18 years. The cognitive, emotional, and physiological components of math anxiety are investigated through computerized math tasks administered under conditions with and without social pressure, self-report questionnaires, and the measurement of physiological arousal levels experienced during the tasks. Throughout the experimental phase, participants were monitored using electrocardiography to assess heart rate and heart rate variability. Finally, the results obtained from the typically developing control group were compared with those from the sample of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Questa ricerca si propone di valutare come la paura di essere giudicati negativamente possa influenzare la prestazione scolastica in matematica in bambini/e e ragazzi/e dai 10 ai 18 anni compresi. Vengono studiate le componenti cognitiva, emotiva, e fisiologica dell’ansia per la matematica attraverso compiti di matematica computerizzati con e senza pressione sociale, questionari self-report e la misurazione dei livelli di arousal fisiologico esperiti durante le prove. Durante tutta la fase sperimentale i partecipanti sono stati monitorati attraverso l’utilizzo dell’elettrocardiogramma, con l’obiettivo di misurare la frequenza cardiaca e l’Heart Rate Variability. Infine, sono stati confrontati i risultati ottenuti dal gruppo di controllo a sviluppo tipico e il campione di soggetti con Disturbo dello Spettro dell’Autismo.

Abstract
This study aims to understand how the fear of negative evaluation can influence mathematics performance in children and adolescents aged 10 to 18 years. The cognitive, emotional, and physiological components of math anxiety are investigated through computerized math tasks administered under conditions with and without social pressure, self-report questionnaires, and the measurement of physiological arousal levels experienced during the tasks. Throughout the experimental phase, participants were monitored using electrocardiography to assess heart rate and heart rate variability. Finally, the results obtained from the typically developing control group were compared with those from the sample of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
