More useful or not so bad? Examining the effects of utility value and cost reduction interventions in college physics. (2020, background): “…students approach their subsequent course activities (e.g., homework assignments, quizzes) with more confidence, engage in less avoidance behavior, and ultimately earn higher grades on their midsemester course exams (Bandura, 1997; Flake et al., 2015; Jiang et al., 2018; Wigfield et al., 2016).”
Expectancy-value theory: retrospective and prospective (2010, background): “Wigfield et al. (2009) reviewed studies that assessed expectancy-related beliefs and values in students from various countries in order to evaluate the relations and developmental associations of the key constructs in expectancyvalue theory.”
Fostering Personal Meaning and Self-relevance: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective on Internalization (2018, background): “This was also recognized by Wigfield, Tonks, and Klauda (2009) when they noted: “In certain respects utility value is similar to extrinsic motivation because when doing the activity out of utility value, the activity is a means to an end rather than an end in itself” (p. 58).”
Improving Underrepresented Minority Student Persistence in STEM (2016, background): “Research in the learning sciences show that a person’s value of a task is actually a stronger predictor of task motivation and creativity than expectancies for success (Xiang et al., 2003; Wigfield et al., 2009).”
