Could anyone start an entry for Martin Fishbein? It's such a prominent psychologist.

I believe this article may be incorrect. Atkinson published a book in 1964 proposing an Expectancy-Value theory. There is another prominent theory by the same name that has been very influential in the field of motivation. It's quite a bit different than the one outlined here by Eccles in 1983. Also, one of the citations doesn't really make sense. The Ekloff article is fairly recent and draws heavily from Eccles' theory, so that would be a much better citation.

I just want to agree that this needs editing on the references. The 1st Ref is to Eccles work. There is no ref to the original proposal of this theory. If I have time, I will come back and find it myself. Mullactalk (talk) 09:19, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
