Abstract

The aim of the present investigation was to validate the Homework Expectancy Value Scale (HEVS) for undergraduates in online learning environments. Participants were 612 undergraduates in China. Results revealed that HEVS included two separate but related subscales: Expectancy and Value. Given an adequate level of measurement invariance, the latent mean difference across gender (males vs. females) was further examined. Our findings showed no statistically significant mean differences in Expectancy and Value across gender groups. Finally, consistent with theoretical expectations, Expectancy and Value were negatively correlated with homework distraction and the frequency of attending online classes without homework, and positively correlated with homework emotion regulation and homework completion.
