چکیده (انگلیسی):

Today, almost all curricula in the social sciences contain at least one course in statistics, given its
importance as an analytical tool. This work identifies the latent factors relat ing to students’
motivation and attitudes toward statistics and tests their covariance structure. Specifically using a
structural equations model, the work confirms that the evaluative factors affect the affective
factors and the interest variable affects the level of anxiety. The findings obtained using the partial
least squares method allow the authors to confirm the proposed relations and validate the model.
