Originally published in 1982, this book examines the current status
of expectancy-value models in psychology. The focus is upon
cognitive models that relate action to the perceived attractiveness
or aversiveness of expected consequences. A person's behavior is
seen to bear some relation to the expectations the person holds and
the subjective value of the consequences that might occur following
the action. Despite widespread interest in the expectancy-value
(valence) approach at the time, there was no book that looked at
its current status and discussed its strengths and its weaknesses,
using contributions from some of the theorists who were involved in
its original and subsequent development and from others who were
influenced by it or had cause to examine the approach closely. This
book was planned to meet this need. The chapters in this book
relate to such areas as achievement motivation, attribution theory,
information feedback, organizational psychology, the psychology of
values and attitudes, and decision theory and in some cases they
advance the expectancy-value approach further and, in other cases,
point to some of its deficiencies.
