All correlations were calculated from mean scores in the test dataset (N = 280). Pearson correlation coefficients are represented above the diagonal. Correlations listed in bold are significant at α = 0.05, items significant at α = 0.01 are listed in bold italics. Higher scores in trait, test, science, and math anxiety represent more negative attitudes. Higher scores in writing anxiety represent more positive attitudes.
