Mathematics anxiety is a pervasive issue in education that requires attention from both educators and researchers to help students reach their full academic potential. This review provides an overview of past research that has investigated the association between math anxiety and math achievement, factors that can cause math anxiety, characteristics of students that can increase their susceptibility to math anxiety, and efforts that educators can take to remedy math anxiety. We also derive a new Interpretation Account of math anxiety, which we use to argue the importance of understanding appraisal processes in the development and treatment of math anxiety. In conclusion, gaps in the literature are reviewed in addition to suggestions for future research that can help improve the field's understanding of this important issue.

数学焦虑：过去的研究，有希望的干预措施和新的解释框架

数学焦虑是教育中普遍存在的问题，需要教育者和研究人员的共同关注，以帮助学生充分发挥其学术潜力。这篇综述概述了过去研究的概况，该研究调查了数学焦虑与数学成就之间的关联，可能导致数学焦虑的因素，可能增加其对数学焦虑的敏感性的学生的特征以及教育者可以采取的补救措施。我们还推导了一个新的数学焦虑解释性说明，我们用它来说明理解评估过程在数学焦虑的发展和治疗中的重要性。总而言之，除了对未来研究的建议外，还对文献中的空白进行了回顾，这些建议可以帮助提高该领域对该重要问题的理解。
