Students with serious math anxiety usually produce wrong concepts and negative attitudes towards their abilities to solve mathematical problems, even lead to psychological obstacles or psychological abnormality.This paper revises some scales and measures the participants whose grades vary from grade 1 in junior high school to grade 3 in junior high school, exploring the relation among factors; that is math anxiety, mathematical motives, concepts and attitudes, and mathematics achievements. The studied results are as the follows:1. Research of relationshipMath anxiety is much negatively related to mathematics achievements. Mathematical motives,concepts and attitudes are much related to mathematics achievements.2. Research of differenceThere are marked differences about math anxiety among mathematical motives, concepts and attitudes.
