Cross-sectional quantitative analysis validates the MAQ among Nigerian students, suggesting implications for mathematics education.

Confirmatory factor analysis showed a two-factor structure of enjoyment and perception of incompetence in the MAQ.
EFA revealed factor loadings of .49 to .80, with reliability marked at ω = .933, indicating strong internal consistency.
