The high Fst value between local groups (Table 3) is in accordance with the expectancy for self-fertilizing plants [ 65].
Every block in the regression analysis adding an explanatory variable showed a statistically significant increase in explained variance for performance expectancy, effort expectance, and self-efficacy, although the increase of 1% after adding Internet experience (ease of use) was only marginal.
Furthermore, task value predicts expectancy for success and self-regulation (Wigfield & Cambria, 2010).
A ruminative disposition was found to be associated with an increased self-reported expectancy for negative subsequent events relative to positive subsequent events [40].
Findings for the Outcome expectancies for active and second stage of labour was, r = .73, n 369, p < 0.001 and, r = .82, n 373, p < 0.001 for the Self-efficacy expectancy for the active stage and the second stage of labour.
Cronbach's alpha values for CBSEI first stage subscales were 0.93 for expectancy outcome and 0.96 for self-efficacy, 0.94 for the W-DEQ and 0.86 for the EPDS.
A smaller selection of predictors could be used in future but should include illness perceptions (most likely to prospectively predict within-person changes), self-efficacy, and expectancy (for between-person differences).
A higher score indicates a higher level of self-efficacy or outcome expectancy for birth [ 3].
High scores indicate stronger self-efficacy or outcome expectancy for birth.
This result supported using the subscales of outcome expectancy and self-efficacy for first stage of labour only against all independent variables.
We found no relationship for age, education, or of having a history of miscarriage against the subscales of outcome expectancy or self-efficacy for first stage of labour in nulliparous or multiparous women.
