To comprehend the prevailing state of primary school students’ learning anxiety, this study employs the methodologies of literature review and questionnaire survey, consulting Dr. Qu Jianguo’s established scale on primary school students’ learning anxiety. The research instrument is crafted encompassing four axes of anxiety: classroom, examination, subject-specific, and environmental. This instrument was administered to fourth-grade students at Hongyu Primary School in Huaihua City, subsequent to which the data garnered from the survey was analyzed statistically using SPSS software. This analytical process entailed an in-depth examination of the discrepancies in learning anxiety among students, as well as the issues inherent in their anxiety. The fundamental conclusions are as follows: among the fourth-grade students, the highest levels of anxiety were recorded in the environmental dimension as perceived by peers, parents, teachers, and the school, while the lowest levels were detected in the subjectspecific dimension. Notably, significant disparities were identified across three domains: academic performance within the class, rural versus urban residency, and the highest level of education achieved by either parent. Consequently, a set of practicable suggestions is proffered to mitigate the learning anxiety of primary school students, targeting specifically those who experience environmental anxiety, students with average or below-average grades, those from rural backgrounds, and those whose parents have only completed primary education.
