Expectancy-value theory suggests that if someone perceives their chances of achieving a goal as low and the value of the goal as not worth the effort, they are likely to give up on the goal and shift their energy to something else. In Bettina's case, if she feels that becoming a famous singer-songwriter is difficult to achieve, she may eventually give up on the goal and pursue other interests or career paths.
