More useful or not so bad? Examining the effects of utility value and cost reduction interventions in college physics. (2020, background): “Cost has always been part of expectancyvalue theory, but it did not receive much research attention by empirical researchers until recently (Barron & Hulleman, 2015; Flake, Barron, Hulleman, McCoach, & Welsh, 2015; Wigfield & Cambria, 2010).”
Returning to Graduate School: Expectations of Success, Values of the Degree, and Managing the Costs (2013, background): “According to EVT, behavior is a function of one’s competence belief (expectation of one’s ability to achieve a goal) and the value placed on achieving that goal (Eccles, Barber, Updegraff, & O’Brien, 1998; Fishbein & Ajzen, 1972).”
A Practical Measure of Student Motivation (2015, methodology): “First, in line with the expectancy-value framework (Wigfield & Cambria, 2010), correlating the EVC Scales for math and science provides evidence that motivation is domain specific.”
Motivation in transition: Development and roles of expectancy, task values, and costs in early college engineering. (2019, background): “Expectancy-value theory describes value as multifaceted (Wigfield & Cambria, 2010): individuals may value a task or domain because it is interesting or enjoyable (interest or intrinsic value), because it is useful for one’s current or future goals (utility value), or because it is important to…”
Motivation and students’ use of learning strategies: Evidence of unidirectional effects in mathematics classrooms (2011, background): “…was positively and moderately related to intrinsic task interest (Schiefele, 1991).2 To date, cost is the most understudied component of value (Wigfield & Cambria, 2010), including its relation to SRL. Cost may constrain 2 Note that whereas Schiefele (1991) considered organization as a…”
