ABSTRACT:
The present study evaluated a cognitive expectancy-value model of achievement behavior in a physical activity setting. Based on Eccles et al.'s (1983) framework, expectancy variables and task value variables were hypothesized to predict indices of achievement behavior. Two samples of male and female university students enrolled in a required physical education skills program served as subjects. Two sample structural equation modeling procedures showed no significant differences in the fit of the hypothesized model across samples, providing initial support for cross-validation. The overall fit of the model to the data was much better for Sample 2 than for Sample 1. Also, the expectancy components had a greater impact than the task value components on performance indices, a prediction consistent with Eccles et al.'s (1983) position. Future studies are needed to evaluate this model in a more free-choice situation involving nonrequired activities. Evaluates a cognitive expectancy-value model of achievement behaviour in a physical activity setting. Assesses the predictive validity of the Sport Orientation Questionnaire (SOQ). Two samples n=315 and n=146) of male and female university students enrolled in a required physical education skills program rate their perceived ability and their self-efficacy, and respond to Vealey's (1986) Trait Sport-Confidence Inventory, the Commitment to Physical Activity Scale, and the SOQ. Collects behavioural indices and performance indices. Evaluation of the fit of the hypothesized model to both samples reveals no statistically significant difference between the samples, providing initial support for cross-validation. Observes that the predictive power of the model seems to be lacking, and explores possible explanations for this finding. Points out that the predictive validity of the SOQ is not supported by the study.
