Old article but a good one, I think. I can't stand people who spread this virus, especially in the presence of kids.

    The article doesn't link to any studies and that is sucky.

    That said, when I have a question like that, it's a great opportunity to search for an answer!

    My first stop is always Google Scholar (it really is the best, but the link tracking is anxiety-inducing) or Research Gate. In this case, you could search for "learned helplessness in math" or "teacher math anxiety effect on learning outcomes" or "do students inherit math anxiety from their teachers/parents/etc" or "learned helplessness in elementary/primary school". Keep adjusting your search terms and putting quotes around particular phrases until you find some answers!

    I found one study that has a pretty good literature review at the beginning. They cite another study for each argument it makes. Try reading the abstract and the introduction:
    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325621246_Mathematics_Anxiety_Perceived_Mathematics_Self-efficacy_and_Learned_Helplessness_in_Mathematics_in_Faculty_of_Education_Students

        You could rephrase that as "I haven't learned research skills yet" considering the discussion we are having, lol. Here is some info on how to research better!

        General research guide

        Search terms/keywords guide

        Another thing you can do is go to a university or local library website or in person or call them on the phone and find their "research guides" section for the general topic of your question.

          Lol, I was joking based on the topic. These links are significantly useful though, I do tend to over-rely on normal search engines.
