新的研究发现表明，父母对数学的焦虑可能会对孩子早期的数学技能产生负面影响，进而影响他们在学科上的表现，随着他们在学校的进步而加剧。 这项研究由拉夫堡大学和三所意大利大学的专家共同进行，研究跟踪了近130名儿童长达五年。研究评估了父母在孩子三岁时的数学焦虑水平，并追踪了孩子从三岁到八岁的数学发展。 这项研究的目的是评估数学焦虑是否会从父母传递给孩子，以及父母的数学焦虑是否会影响孩子随时间推移的数学发展。尽管研究没有发现证据表明孩子会内化父母对数学的焦虑，但它确实揭示了父母的数学焦虑与孩子数学技能之间的显著关联。 拉夫堡大学数学认知专家、研究团队成员金加·莫尔萨尼博士表示：“我们的研究结果揭示了父母的数学焦虑确实会影响孩子的数学成绩，即使考虑到父母教育水平的差异。” “我们发现，当孩子三岁时，报告自己对数学感到焦虑的父母，养育的孩子在早期的数学技能上比那些焦虑水平较低的父母的孩子差。” “这种影响在孩子成长并进入学校后继续存在，这些孩子在八岁时仍表现出较低的数学成绩，这一点尤其值得注意，因为学校教育对数学发展的影响是很大的。” 早期的数学发展被发现是未来学术成功的重要预测因素，而学术成功又会影响重要的生活结果，包括职业机会、收入潜力，甚至长期的心理和身体健康。 莫尔萨尼博士希望这项发表在《实验儿童心理学杂志》上的研究结果能凸显出，开展一些项目的必要性，这些项目不仅能帮助父母支持孩子的数学学习，还能帮助父母发展对数学的积极态度和信心。 对于那些希望采取行动的担心自己数学焦虑的父母，莫尔萨尼博士表示，避免对数学发表负面言论是一个很好的开始。 “父母可以采取的一个简单但有效的措施是更多地说些积极的话，认识到你不需要在数学上有特殊天赋就能学好它，”莫尔萨尼博士说，“即使父母在数学上有困难，表现出兴趣、热情和鼓励，也能对孩子产生很大影响。” “提高数学信心和学习实用数学技能永远不嫌晚。父母可以参加成人数学课程或利用免费的在线资源来增强自己的信心。父母还可以采取一种成长型心态，认识到在数学中犯错不仅没问题，而且是学习过程中的重要部分。” 该研究由博洛尼亚大学牵头，并涉及的里雅斯特大学和马切拉塔大学，在意大利进行，研究对象为从六岁开始上学的儿童。研究人员希望在此基础上进一步探讨父母在儿童早期数学发展中的作用，以及数学焦虑的早期起源，并研究这些发现是否在不同国家具有稳定性。 New research findings reveal that parents’ anxiety about mathematics can have a negative impact on their children’s early numeracy skills, influencing their performance in the subject as they progress through school. The study, conducted by experts from Loughborough University and three Italian universities, followed nearly 130 children over five years. Parents' levels of maths anxiety were assessed when their children were three years old, and their children's mathematical development was tracked from ages three to eight. The aim of the study was to assess whether maths anxiety can be passed on from parents to children and if parental maths anxiety influences children’s mathematical development over time. While the study found no evidence that children would internalise their parents' anxiety about maths, it did uncover a significant link between parental maths anxiety and children's numeracy skills. “Our results reveal that parental maths anxiety does impact children’s maths outcomes, even when differences in parental education are taken into account”, says Dr Kinga Morsanyi, an expert in mathematical cognition at Loughborough University, who was part of the research team. “We found that parents who reported feeling anxious about maths when their children were three raised children with poorer early numeracy skills than parents with lower levels of anxiety. “This effect continued as their children grew and entered school, with the same children still showing lower maths performance at the age of eight, which is remarkable, given the strong influence of schooling on maths development.” Early maths development has been found to be a key predictor of future academic success, which, in turn, influences crucial life outcomes, including career opportunities, earning potential, and even long-term mental and physical wellbeing. Dr Morsanyi hopes the study findings, published in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, highlight the need for initiatives that not only enable parents to support their children’s maths learning, but help them to develop positive attitudes and confidence towards the subject. For parents concerned about their maths anxiety wanting to take action now, Dr Morsanyi says avoiding speaking negatively about maths is a good start. “One simple yet powerful step parents can take is to speak more positively about maths and recognise that you do not need a special talent in maths to be able to learn it”, says Dr Morsanyi, "Even if parents struggle with maths, showing interest, enthusiasm and encouragement can make a big difference for their children. “It is also never too late to increase one’s confidence in maths and to learn functional numeracy skills. Parents can explore adult numeracy classes or take advantage of free online resources to help boost their confidence. They can also embrace a growth mindset where you recognise that making mistakes in maths is not only okay, but an important part of the learning process." The study, which was led by the University of Bologna and involved the Universities of Trieste and Macerata, was conducted with children in Italy, who start school at the age of six. The researchers now hope to build on their findings by further investigating the role of parents in children's early maths development, as well as the early origins of mathematics anxiety, and the stability of these findings across different countries.

结果发现，根据这份问卷发现自己对数学焦虑的父母，其孩子3到5岁时，在涉及计数和简单算术的测试中确实表现得更差。
高达30%的人有严重的“数学焦虑”，听到数学不是手心冒汗、心跳加速，就是会胃痛和头晕。 这份研究调查126名家长的数学焦虑情况，接着追踪孩子的数学技能，结果发现，如果父母对数字焦虑，3到5岁的孩子数学成绩较差。学龄前数学较差的孩子，通常到8岁学龄时数学能力也不会太好，这或许是因为，由于爸妈讨厌数学，孩子在家里也会比较少玩对数学有帮助的算术游戏，就算父母试着与孩子一起玩数字游戏，也可能因为缺乏热情，孩子感受到爸妈对数学的厌恶，算术游戏对他们的帮助也跟着减少。
那孩子学不好数学的原因是DNA遗传基因，不是什么父母数学焦虑。博士给的“建议”也是瞎掰。
父母自己数学不好， 所以才焦虑。
他们研究的是，父母自己对数学有多焦虑。不是父母对孩子的数学表现焦虑。
所以华人应该对自己能“推孩子数学”感到骄傲与自豪。版上很多人听见数学题就兴奋，就跃跃欲试，而不是焦虑😃
我前几天还和lg聊到这个话题，美国很多人会自己告诉你他们数学不好，一点也没有不好意思稀松平常。
跟亚裔家长督促孩子好好学数学 （并且大比例的家长数学好，还愿意并有能力辅导）完全不是一回事儿好吧。
哈哈就是。就这还研究！
孩子数学不好才会家长焦虑啊，而且不仅仅是普通不好，是非常不好啊 还有，肯定是数学不好的家长才容易焦虑啊，因为自己也不懂也帮不上忙 （i am speaking statistically, 防止杠精）
双重加起来，肯定数学不行啊，负面循环
意大利的博士，不过如此啊
有可能，我爹妈智商都很普通，但是我和我妹成绩都很好
觉得大不靠谱。父母工作与数学不沾边，焦虑的那门子？
不是工作中用的数学。这些人数学差到连生活中的简单数学都搞不清。比如孩子办生日party或者出去旅行做个预算，报税，还贷款，算每个月的收入支出什么的
