Abstract
The anxiety phenomena can be understood through the concept of anxiety arousal. This is associated with self-related cognition. One example of self-deprecating thought is negative self-evaluation of one’s self (Zaman & Semul, 2013). Moreover, anxiety among secondary school students creates strong negative emotions and can hinder a person’s cognitive, learning and academic performance. Fear of mathematics comes early in the educational process and if this is not handled properly, it will negatively affect the students to adulthood. In learning mathematics, emotional intelligence (EI) and social intelligence (SI) impact on how a person deals with emotions, mathematics and the general self-regulations strategies that the person adopts (Nor, Ismael, & Yusof, 2016).
