Originally published in 1982, this comprehensive book delves into the current state of expectancy-value models in psychology. Focusing on cognitive models that connect actions to the perceived attractiveness or aversiveness of expected consequences, it explores the relationship between a person's behavior and their expectations, as well as the subjective value they assign to potential outcomes following their actions. Despite the widespread interest in the expectancy-value (valence) approach at the time, there was a gap in literature that examined its current status, assessed its strengths, and identified its weaknesses. This book was conceived to fulfill this need.
The chapters within this book cover a wide range of topics, including achievement motivation, attribution theory, information feedback, organizational psychology, the psychology of values and attitudes, and decision theory. In some instances, they further develop the expectancy-value approach, highlighting its potential applications. In other cases, they point out its limitations and suggest areas for improvement.
Through extensive research and insightful contributions from both theorists who were involved in the original development of expectancy-value models and others who have been influenced by them or have closely examined the approach, this book provides a comprehensive examination of the current status and future prospects of expectancy-value models in psychology. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the field, offering valuable insights and perspectives on this important area of study.
