Conference: Factores emocionales y actitudes negativas hacia las matemáticas: ¿Cómo impactan sobre el rendimiento académico?

Dr. María Isabel Núñez-Peña is a Professor of Research Design at the University of Barcelona, ​​where she leads the research line on Numerical Cognition and Mathematical Anxiety. In this line, she has been the principal researcher of four research projects funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. Her latest projects have focused on deficits in the processing of numerical information in people with mathematics anxiety, in order to guide possible interventions to reduce the negative impact of this type of anxiety on performance in numerical tasks. She has also coordinated another five funded research projects in the educational field, which sought to understand the role that anxiety plays in academic performance in higher education. As a result of these projects, she has published more than 40 articles in JCR-indexed journals, which accumulate nearly 1,500 citations. Her latest publications include:

• Núñez-Peña, M.I., & Campos-Rodríguez, C. (2024). Response inhibition deficits in math-anxious individuals. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1540, 200-210.
• Núñez-Peña, M.I., Ramon-Casas, M., Cunillera, T., & Campos-Rodríguez, C. (2024). Mathematics self-concept and response-pattern in higher education examinations: Differences between genders. Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, 49(8),
