Quantitative survey investigates components of mathematics attitudes and their relationship with achievement in secondary students.

Key Points

The aim is to investigate the relationship between affective, behavioural, and cognitive components of mathematics attitudes and students' achievement.
Conducted a quantitative, cross-sectional survey with 193 secondary school students aged 13-16 in Jamaica.
Utilized the ABC-Model-of-attitude questionnaire and teacher-made mathematics examinations for data collection.
Employed descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation, simple linear regression, and the Mann–Whitney U test for analysis.
Found a significant, low positive relationship between each component of mathematics attitudes and achievement.
Identified moderate, significant correlations between the affective component and both behavioural and cognitive components.
Cognitive component was the most dominant, whereas the behavioural component was the least; no significant gender differences detected.
