Links between gender, math anxiety, and math intensity of career choice for high school students. Illustration of gender and math anxiety as predictors of career choice math intensity for high school students. A Both gender (β = 0.187, t = 2.00, P = 0.047, BF10 = 2.35) and math anxiety (β = − 0.240, t = − 2.58, P = 0.011, BF10 = 5.35) significantly predicted career choice [F_{(2, 104)} = 5.63, P = 0.005, r² = 0.098]. B Gender did not significantly predict math anxiety (β = − 0.054, t = − 0.56, P = 0.579, BF10 = 0.23)
