    I am going to reflect on the expectancy violation theory in the perceiving and understanding chapter in the Communication Mosaics book. “Research concerning the expectancy violation theory shows that when our expectations are violated, we become more cognitively alert as we struggle to understand and cope with unexpected behaviors and events” (Wood, p.53). This theory has recently become noticeable in my life. A young man just recently passed away in the town where I’m from, this was totally…

    problematic this concept is. Humankind is a tomorrow-centered species, and seek to know what is coming next. Expectancy Violation Theory plays right into the need to predict what each communication event holds in store. It states that one has preconceived notions of how social interactions should go and when someone violates those predictions one must evaluate how that makes them feel. The reaction that occurs gets assigned a violation valence, whether the encounter was positive or negative,…

    "Effort-performance" is in relation to expectancy. Thus, the perception of the individual is that the effort that he or she will put forward will actually result in the attainment of the "performance". This cognitive evaluation is heavily weighted by an individual's past experiences, personality, self-confidence and emotional state. Expectancy has been characterized as the subjective likelihood since people contrast in their estimations of the connection amongst behaviour and outcomes for the…

    Another form of motivation is the incentive theory of motivation.
