Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence mathematics anxiety among private college students. Two private colleges from north Malaysia were selected from its nine branches all over Malaysia. These colleges offered 9 different courses where each course offered mathematics subject. After conducting factor analysis, five factors were identified as reasons for the occurrence of mathematics anxiety among students. The factors are student attitude, role of teacher, skills, emotions, and peers. Structural equation model has shown that there are relationships between these five factors. Peers and role of teachers proven to have a positive direct effect on mathematics anxiety with role of teachers was found to be the strongest factor. Meanwhile, students’ attitude and skills have a negative direct effect on mathematics anxiety. Finally, emotions influence mathematics anxiety indirectly through students’ attitude. 2021-01-26T07:09:54Z 2021-01-26T07:09:54Z 2020-12 Article Applied Mathematics and Computational Intelligence (AMCI), vol.9, 2020, pages 53-64 2289-1315 (print) 2289-1323 (online) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/69380 https://amci.unimap.edu.my/ en Institute of Engineering Mathematics (Universiti Malaysia Perlis)
