High Expectation/Low Value:
If you have high expectations for a goal but low value, you may find yourself overly relying on your expected success and challenged by thinking a task is not important enough for your effort.
Example: “This course is a piece of cake; I don't need to study. I can get by without turning things in and still make an A.”
High Value/Low Expectation:
If you have high value, but do not believe you can succeed, you might find yourself extremely stressed about the task and give up easily convinced you are not capable of success.
Example: “I need to get a B in this course to get into my program, but it's impossible. This course is too hard; I will never pass so I might as well give up now.”
Low Expectation/Low Value:
If you are struggling with low expectations and low value, you might find yourself not even attempting a task. You may convince yourself that you won’t succeed, and the task isn't important anyway.
Example: “I don’t even know why I need this course, I’ll never use this. I’m never going to figure this out or do all this work, so why even try? I’m just going to fail.
