| description | The purpose of this research was to: 1) characterize attitudes towards statistics in the initial, intermediate and final stages of undergraduate degrees in Administrative Economic Sciences and, 2) determine the applications that students give to statistics during their university studies. 159 students (69.18% female and 30.81% male) participated in careers such as Human Resources, Administration, International Business and Marketing, which answered a semantic differential questionnaire composed of seven pairs of extreme adjectives based on a scale of -3 to + 3. The results showed that, during the three stages of the races (initial, intermediate and final), the attitudes towards statistics remain somewhat positive (with averages of 0.73, 0.94 and 1.00, respectively) and that, although their importance is perceived, they are somewhat tense for students. It was also found that these attitudes are used to understand information, calculate data and investigate. In addition, possible explanations for such findings are discussed, for example, the teaching strategies of teachers and the academic history of students. |

La presente investigación tuvo por objetivos: 1) caracterizar las actitudes hacia la estadística en las etapas iniciales, intermedias y finales de pregrados en Ciencias Económico Administrativas y, 2) determinar las aplicaciones que los alumnos dan a la estadística durante sus estudios universitarios. Participaron 159 estudiantes (69.18% mujeres y 30.81% varones) de carreras como Recursos Humanos, Administración, Negocios Internacionales y Mercadotecnia, los cuales contestaron un cuestionario de diferencial semántico integrado por siete pares de adjetivos extremos con base en una escala de -3 a +3. Los resultados mostraron que, durante las tres etapas de las carreras (inicial, intermedia y final), las actitudes hacia la estadística se mantienen algo positivas (con promedios de 0.73, 0.94 y 1.00, respectivamente) y que, aunque se percibe su importancia, son algo tensas para los estudiantes. Asimismo, se encontró que dichas actitudes son utilizadas para comprender información, calcular datos e investigar. Además, se discuten posibles explicaciones para tales hallazgos, por ejemplo, las estrategias didacticas de los docentes y la historia académica de los estudiantes.
