Compare and contrast values affirmation interventions and utility-value interventions.
What will be an ideal response?
Values affirmation interventions are based on the idea that if an underrepresented or at-risk group feels threatened about underperforming in an academic setting, that sense of threat can be offset by having the individual(s) affirm their own personal values through writing assignments; whereas utility-value interventions tackle the value part of expectancy-value theory with the idea that writing about the utility value or usefulness of the material they are studying will help individuals become more motivated. Both interventions are used to (and are generally successful in) closing gaps in gender differences in STEM classes and fields.
