Extending the Expectancy-Value Model: Definitions and Functions of Cost in Students' Choice, Engagement, and Performance
Sun, April 10, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 145 ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Cost refers to the negative aspects of choosing, engaging in, and performing a task. It has been widely recognized as a sub-dimension of task value within the expectancy-value framework (Eccles et al., 1983). However, cost has not been examined as frequently or systematically as other dimensions of task value, such as intrinsic value and utility value. We aim to present theoretical conceptualizations and assessment instruments of cost and demonstrate its unique role in students’ achievement-related choice, affect, and behavior. Five papers will be presented, which together will make a strong case for cost as a major component in the expectancy-value model. Our discussant, who is a leading scholar in the expectancy-value research, will provide a critical analysis of these presentations.
