Expectancy-value theories applied in Korean physical activity contexts: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Recognizing expectancy-value theory as an influential framework for explaining the mechanism of motivation, relevant research has increased in physical activity contexts. This theory assumes that individuals' motivation is situated and context-specific, shaped by the culture in which they live. Guided by expectancy-value theory, the purpose of this study was to synthesize the determinants and outcomes of motivation in Korean physical activity contexts through a meta-analytic approach.

Methods

Following the PRISMA statement, this study performed a comprehensive literature search in five electronic databases by May 21, 2025. After extracting and collecting data from the included studies, a meta-analysis was carried out in the R software with the heterogeneity test
