RESPONSE EXPECTANCY VERSUS RESPONSE HOPE IN PREDICTING DISTRESS A BRIEF RESEARCH REPORT

Abstract

A recent line of research suggests that response expectancy (i.e., expectancy for nonvolitional outcomes (e.g., relaxed)) and response hope (i.e., hope for nonvolitional outcomes (e.g., relaxed)) may be two different constructs. Despite the vast literature re- garding the impact of response expectancies on nonvolitional outcomes, little is known about the impact of response hopes on nonvolitional outcomes. The aim of this brief re- search report is to investigate the interrelations between response expectancy and re- sponse hope in generating distress during an exam situation. As expected, results show that response expectancy directly predicts distress; also, as expected, a discrepancy be- tween response hope and response expectancy is a strong predictor of distress. Theoreti- cal and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
