Anxiety is an unpleasant state that is associated with feeling of uneasiness, apprehension, and heightened physiological
arousal. According to Freud, it arises when there is an unconscious conflict between the id and superego’s desire regarding how to satisfy a need; the ego, caught in the middle, reacts by creating a feeling of anxiety. Anxiety is differentiated into (a) State Anxiety, it is a transitory emotional reaction to the individual’s perception of a threatening or dangerous situation, and (b) Trait Anxiety, it is a relatively stable tendency to interpret situations as a threatening or dangerous and to react to them with anxiety. Studies have shown that the level of anxiety of the students affects their academic performance. The present undertaking attempted to assess the anxiety level of college freshmen students and
relate the results in terms of the age, gender and academic performance. The results of the study showed that the State and Trait Anxiety level of the respondents is moderate. Furthermore, the anxiety (state and trait) level showed significant difference in terms of the
gender, but failed to show significance to such variables as age of the participants. Likewise, the results showed no significant difference in State and Trait Anxiety level and the GWA. The low and negative correlation between State Anxiety and GWA suggest that the higher the academic performance of the students, there would be lower manifestation of State and Trait Anxiety.

Anxiety towards mathematics of grade 7 learners, their mathematics performance and determined if there exists significant difference between male and female learners in their level of mathematics anxiety. We also examined the association between leaners' level of mathematics anxiety and mathematics performance. (C. Jolejole-Caube,et.al,2019).


Study:
*Foreign Language Learning Motivation and Anxiety among Iranian Students in the Philippines

In a study set in Asia, Na (2007) examined 115 Chinese high school students‟ English learning anxiety in EFL classrooms. The students were found to be anxious in English classes, and males exhibited higher anxiety than females. Such high level of anxiety appeared to have a debilitative role in performing the task of language learning. In Iran, Mahmoodzadeh (2012) conducted a study on the influence of gender on learners' foreign language anxiety. The major focus of the study was to determine the level of foreign language anxiety in matched-gender and mixed-gender classrooms. The results of the study showed that mixed-gender classrooms were more likely to be anxiety-provoking, and it was noticed that significant amount of language anxiety among Iranian learners was caused by the presence of the opposite gender in the classes. As suggested by this and other studies in different contexts (e.g., Idri, 2012), motivation is one of the affective factors which can predict language learners‟ success and can determine L2 achievement and attainment.

This study examined the impact of modular distance learning on students' motivation, interest/attitude, anxiety and achievement in mathematics. This was done at the Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija, Philippines during the first and second grading of the academic year 2021-2022. The study included both a descriptive-comparative and descriptive-correlational research design. The 207 high school students were chosen using stratified sampling. According to the findings, students have a very satisfactory rating in mathematics. Students agree that they are motivated, enthusiastic, and have a positive attitude toward mathematics. They do, however,
