Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Julian Rotter's social learning theory suggests that the likelihood of a behavior (such as studying for a test) is determined by the expectation of the outcome (getting a good grade) and the value that the individual places on that outcome (the personal importance of getting a good grade). This means that both the expectation of success and the personal significance of that success play a role in determining effort.  The importance of expectations in motivating behavior was developed by Julian Rotter in his social learning theory. The probability that we will engage in a given behavior is dependent on the expectation of attaining a goal.
