This study analyzedfactors influencing mathematics attitudes and the fearand enjoyment dimensions of mathematics attitudes among South TexasMexicanAmericans. The results provide evidence that the most potent predictors of mathematics attitudes for this group of Hispanics are ability, the quality of mathematics preparations, college credits, and the perceived importance of mathematics. No evidence was uncovered for significant language preference, cultural identification, or socioeconomic effects on mathematics attitudes.
