Abstract
The aim of this study was to find out the relationship between the variable of statistical anxiety and the trend towards it, on the one hand, and the achievement in the principles of statistics on the other hand, and to assess the predictive ability of the variables of scholastic achievement. To achieve the objectives of the study, the measure of statistical anxiety and the measure of students' attitudes towards statistics were applied to all students studying the "Principles of Statistics" (188) students; (105) males and (83) females during the second semester 2017/2018. The results showed that the achievement was associated with the other variables and the expected trend. All values were statistically significant (α = 0.05). The results of the regression analysis showed that the statistical anxiety and the trends towards it contributed to the interpretation of the variation in the grades of students in the principles of statistics. The variable of the trend towards statistics contributed more to the difference in the achievement scores in the total sample. The study recommended conducting more studies directed towards the use of some of the predictions related to the cognitive aspect and to some of the expectations from the emotional angle.

الملخص
هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى معرفة العلاقة بين متغير القلق الإحصائي والاتجاه نحوه من جهة والتحصيل في مادة مبادىء الإحصاء من جهة أخرى، وتقييم القدرة التنبؤية للمتغيرين بالتحصيل الدراسي. ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة جرى استخدام مقياس القلق الإحصائي، ومقياس اتجاهات الطلبة نحو الإحصاء، وجرى تطبيقهما على جميع الطلبة الذين يدرسون مادة "مبادىء الإحصاء" والبالغ عددهم (188) طالباً وطالبة؛ (105) طالب و(83) طالبة خلال الفصل الدراسي الثاني 2017/2018م. وبينت النتائج أن التحصيل ارتبط مع المتغيرات الأخرى وبالاتجاه المتوقع، وكانت جميع القيم دالة إحصائياً (0.05 = α). وأشارت نتائج تحليل الانحدار المتعدد المتدرج أن القلق الإحصائي والاتجاهات نحوها أسهما في تفسير تباين درجات الطلبة في مادة مبادىء الإحصاء، وأسهم متغير الاتجاه نحو الإحصاء بمقدار أكبر في تفسير تباين درجات التحصيل في العينة الكلية. وأوصت الدراسة بإجراء المزيد من الدراسات الموجهة نحو استخدام بعض المتنبئات التي تتعلق بالجانب المعرفي مثل معدل الطالب في المواد العلمية من امتحان شهادة الدراسة الثانوية العامة، إضافة إلى بعض المتنبئات من الجانب الانفعالي.
