摘要:MOTIVATION, ANXIETY, CONFIDENCE, PLEASURE AND USEFULNESS FACTORS THAT REALLY EXPLAIN THE ATTITUDE TOWARDS MATHEMATICS IN STUDENTS MAJORING IN ECONOMICS?The study focuses on determining the level of attitude towards mathematics by students of the Faculty of Economics at the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosi (UASLP), Mexico. The study is approached from the quantitative paradigm, not experimental, transversal and exploratory. The sample consisted of college students majoring in Economics who coursed mathematics during 2015. The attitude toward statistics test from Auzmendi (1992) was used. The main empirical finding of perception of students was that the pleasure is one of the factors that contribute to the attitude towards mathematics, contrary to motivation, which showed that it is not a key attitude to this discipline.
