In the eyes of many people, gambling is not regarded as a desirable activity. Some religious institutions actually condemn it as a sin. In spite of this, at least two important branches of academic pursuit, namely probability theory and decision theory, owe their origins to a careful analysis of the activities and outcomes of gambling.

STIMULUS‐RESPONSE THEORY AND EXPECTANCY
British Journal of Psychology, 1960In the debate between ‘expectancy’ and ‘S‐R’ theory the latter has appeared to be objective and precise and the former vague.

As an example, we show here how students can arrive at powerful, individual readings of Kafka's "Metamorphosis" and, more important, increasing awareness that their assumptions and expectations about a text ...

Expectation-Confirmation Theory
2009Expectation-confirmation theory (ECT) posits that satisfaction is determined by interplay of prior expectations and perception of delivery.
