Links between gender, math anxiety and math intensity of career choice for primary school students. Illustration of gender and math anxiety as predictors of career choice math intensity for primary school students. A Gender (β = 0.276, t = 2.60, P = 0.011, BF10 = 3.74), but not math anxiety (β = − 0.048, t = − 0.451, P = 0.653, BF10 = 0.48), significantly predicted career choice [F_{(2, 84)} = 3.77, P = 0.027, r² = 0.082]. B Gender did not significantly predict math anxiety (β = − 0.157, t = − 1.46, P = 0.147, BF10 = 0.57)
