The research aims to determine the difference between secondary school students’ mathematics anxiety with mathematics literacy self-efficacy level and study these connections. The relational screening model in the research population comprises 32 secondary schools in the 2020-2021 academic years in Esenyurt province, Istanbul. Research samplings comprise 1682 students that are chosen with the stratified sampling method from nine different secondary schools in Esenyurt province. Data was gathered by the ‘’Secondary School Mathematics Literacy Self-Efficiency Scale’’ and ‘‘Mathematics Anxiety-Apprehension Survey’’. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Sperman Correlation Analysis and statistical techniques are used. As a result of the analysis, secondary school students’ mathematics anxiety is higher than average, and their mathematics literacy self-efficacy is also significantly higher. After the examination of the relationship between the scales, it was determined that there is a positive relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics literacy self-efficacy.
