Expectancies, Values, and Achievement in Junior High School.
Berndt, Thomas J.; Miller, Kristelle E.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n2 p319-26 Jun 1990
To examine the relationship between expectancies and values and their contributions to achievement, 153 seventh graders (54 males and 99 females) completed multiple measures of expectancy and value. Expectancies and values contributed to achievement, and the constructs for both were positively correlated. Differences between males and females are discussed. (SLD)
