Abstract | This study examines differences in self-efficacy, expectancy-related beliefs, task value, and performance in a dart-throwing task as a function of race among diverse college students using the expectancy-value model and self-efficacy theory. It also examines the predictive contributions of these beliefs on task performance within each racial group. Based on the literature reviewed, it was first hypothesized that there would be no racial differences in self-efficacy, expectancy-related beliefs, task value, and task performance for the dart-throwing task. Second, self-efficacy and expectancy-related beliefs were expected to be stronger predictors of performance than task value. The first hypothesis was supported. Specifically, African and White American students did not differ in self-efficacy, task value, and task performance for the dart-throwing task (nonracially biased task). Although the African American students scored higher than the White students in expectancy-related beliefs, the difference was minimal. The race-based differences in expectancy-related beliefs (i.e., domain-specific perceived ability) may be attributed to the generalized racial stereotypes about the physical superiority of African Americans over White Americans. Additionally, the low self-efficacy scores matched the low performance scores for both racial groups, indicating that situation-specific beliefs (self-efficacy) correspond better with achievement behavior than domain-specific beliefs (expectancy-related beliefs).
