Five hun-dred and twelve students from the University of Ljubljana completed the Statistics Anxiety Rating Scale (STARS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and answered questions about their perceptions of mathematics and statistics. The results showed below-average mean scores on the STARS dimensions, except for the Test and Class Anxiety with the average score around the midpoint of the scale. Female students reported higher levels of SA than male students did. The highest levels of SA were reported by students who perceived mathematics and statistics as a threat. The subscales of the STARS correlated positively with students' trait anxiety. Students who reported less enjoyment in mathematics in high school perceived statistics to be a less worthy subject and had a lower computa-tion self-concept. Students who had better mathematics performance in high school and higher average study grades also reported a higher computation self-concept. In the present study, we translated the STARS questionnaire into Slovenian and confirmed the six-factor structure of the questionnaire. The results provide a basis for further research on statistics anxiety and further validation of the STARS questionnaire. The results can also aid statistics teachers in better understanding students' worries, fears, and attitudes towards statistics and in learning about the factors that affect students' statistics anxiety and their work in the courseV raziskavi smo preučevali odnos med statistično anksioznostjo (SA), anksioznostjo kot potezo, stališči do matematike in statistike ter štu-dijsko uspešnostjo pri študentih, ki so imeli v svojem študijskem pro-gramu vsaj en statistični predmet. 512 študentov Univerze v Ljubljani je izpolnjevalo vprašalnik za merjenje statistične anksioznosti (STARS) in lestvico anksioznosti (STAI-X2) ter odgovarjalo na vprašanja o do-življanju matematike in statistike. Rezultati so pokazali, da je bilo pet dimenzij statistične anksioznosti izraženih pod povprečjem, dimenzija testna anksioznost in anksioznost v razredu pa je bila povprečno izra-žena. Študentke so poročale o več statistične anksioznosti kot študenti. O najvišji statistični anksioznosti so poročali študenti, ki so doživljali matematiko in statistiko kot grožnjo. Dimenzije STARS so bile pozitiv-no povezane z anksioznostjo kot potezo pri študentih. Študenti, ki so bili manj navdušeni nad matematiko v srednji šoli, so poročali o nižji vrednosti statistike in imeli nižjo samopodobo na področju računskih sposobnosti. Študenti z višjo zaključno oceno pri matematiki v srednji šoli in višjo povprečno študijsko oceno so imeli višjo samopodobo na področju računskih sposobnosti. V raziskavi smo prevedli vprašalnik STARS in potrdili 6-faktorsko strukturo vprašalnika. Rezultati pred-stavljajo izhodišče za nadaljnje raziskovanje statistične anksioznosti in nadaljnje validacije vprašalnika. Učiteljem statistike lahko pomagajo pri boljšem razumevanju strahov in skrbi študentov, njihovih stališč do sta-tistike ter dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na doživljanje statistične anksioznosti in delo pri predmetuTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Pedagoška fakulteta
