Damien Wilkerson · Answer 1

b. zero if either expectation to succeed or the perceived value of a goal is zero.

Explanation:

Expectancy x value theory also known as expectancy-value model of expectation asserts that the relationship between value and expectation is multiplicative, that is, if the value and individual puts on a task is zero, that individual will not feel motivated to achieve that task. Conversely, if the value is high but expectation to completing the task is zero, the individual will also not be motivated to complete the task.
