Abstract
This study examines all the possible influences of expectations in the predicting process of performance or outcomes. Studies have much done on the impact of expectations on outcomes and the influences on expectations. However, the paradox of expectations is still unsolvable. Researchers shape expectations as predictors of future. It is not clear how one can predict the future actions by the expectations. The aim of this study is in search of the gap in the literature of the complex relations between expectations and satisfactions and to improve the better understanding of expectations. Our contributions are: (1) the more the gap of time difference between the previous experience and current one, the more decline the level of expectation, (2) self-expectation is the outcome of others’ expectation, and (3) the impact of expectations of guardians or significant person on the expectations of a student can be used as a tool to indirectly guide the career choices of a student. The future researches should focus on (1) long-term and short-term phenomena, (2) the association between high expectation and relief pain, (3) education of patients and expectations of improvement in exercise, and lastly, (4) expectations due to political conditions.
