Abstract

Math anxiety is a feeling of fear and anxiety when facing something related to mathematics. Adversity quotient is a person’s ability to face challenges and difficulties. This study aims to analyze the results of a study that examines the influence of math anxiety and adversity quotient on mathematical problem-solving skills. The research method is the literature review. The sources of literature used are national and international articles collected from Science Direct and Google Scholar from 2017 to 2024. Based on the analysis of 32 articles that met the criteria, the results of the study were obtained as follows: 1) Math anxiety and adversity quotient influence mathematical problem-solving ability; 2) Math anxiety has a negative influence on mathematical problem-solving ability; 3) Adversity quotient has a positive influence on mathematical problem-solving skills; 4) Based on the Polya problem-solving stages, only students with low math anxiety and students with adversity quotient climbers can fulfill all stages well.
