DESCRIPTION:Expectancy-Value Theory predicts that expectancy of success an
 d subjective task value (STV) underlie differences in motivation and achie
 vement. This study investigated how gender and SES related to achievement 
 mediated by expectancy of success\, STV\, and their interaction. The sampl
 e consisted of 396 participants in their final year of upper secondary edu
 cation. Self-report measures were completed of expectancy\, STV\, gender a
 nd socio-economic indicators. These were linked to exit examination grades
  (A Levels). Only parental education was directly related to achievement h
 owever gender and SES were indirectly linked to student grades through exp
 ectancy\, STV\, and the expectancy-STV interaction. Males\, students with 
 a higher level of parental education\, and students from households with a
  higher number of possessions\, all performed better in their examination 
 due to higher expectations\; higher STV amplified these relations. Gender 
 and SES differences in achievement can be partly explained by psychologica
 l factors\, namely students’ expectations of success and STV.  \n\nZoom
