Expectancy-value theories applied in Korean physical activity contexts: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

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, publication bias assessment, and subgroup analysis. Results: The findings demonstrated moderate-to-strong effects of the relationships between expectancy-value theory-based motivation and its determinants and outcomes, suggesting that individuals' motivation was shaped by different internal and external factors, such as motivational constructs, social-contextual influences, and task difficulty, and contributed to affective experiences and behavioral engagement. Self-perceptions were likely to serve as a determinant of expectancy beliefs and an outcome of task values. Conclusion: These findings suggest both cross-cultural patterns and distinct mechanisms of expectancy-value theory-based motivation in physical activity contexts.
