In this study, the impact of attitudes of students attending mathematics, statistics and econometrics courses towards mathematics on attitudes towards statistics and econometrics course successes and the impact of attitudes towards statistics on econometrics course successes were analyzed by using Structural Equation Model, with data collected from a sample of 147 students studying Economics in Gaziantep University. Analyses provided findings that mathematics anxiety and interest in mathematics significantly and positively affect statistics anxiety and interest in statistics. It is also founded that statistics anxiety and mathematics anxiety significantly and negatively affected the econometrics score of students.
