Group | N | Male | Female | Male (%) | SES | log(MB) | MP | MAC |

MAC, math achievement; MB, math behavior; MP, persistence. Group 1-high math anxiety and medium-high motivation. Group 2-high math anxiety and low motivation. Group 3-medium math anxiety and medium-low motivation. Group 4-low math anxiety and medium motivation. Group 5-low anxiety and high motivation. Letters in parenthesis of the last three columns are indicating significance of comparing means between different groups correcting for multiple testing. If two groups share any same letter, the means of MB, MP, or MAC are not significantly different. If there is no shared letter between two groups, then the means of MB, MP, or MAC are significantly different.
