These expectations function asanticipatory beliefs concerning the consequences of specific actions within a career context [5].Positive OE bolsters motivation, shapes goal-setting processes, guide decision-making, andcontributes to individuals' self-efficacy beliefs [4]. In essence, OE plays a pivotal role in shapingindividuals' career trajectories and development by providing a cognitive framework throughwhich they evaluate potential outcomes and make well-informed choices [4].Bandura [4] delineated three types of OE, suggesting that positive outcomes can serve asincentives while negative outcomes may act as disincentives to persist in a

This program provides access to academic, career, and technical education(CTE) courses that offer simultaneous credit toward high school graduation and a postsecondary degreeor certificate.NTU and GMCS seized the opportunity to launch a Dual-Credit engineering program.

However, as some engineering PhD students wish to pursue a more teaching-focused careerat a PUI, or a primarily undergraduate institution, these future faculty members eventually findthey did not feel adequately prepared for their career [1].Further investigation on the self-efficacy regarding instruction for engineering PhD students isneeded. Specifically, there is a need to better understand which areas of instruction self-efficacyare related

Sense of belonging was also a crucial factor forpersistence.

Social belonging relates to positive social interactions with peers, faculty,and campus community, whereas academic belonging relates to academic performance,academic self-efficacy, curriculum motivation, and perceptions of belonging within aprofessional discipline [4, 5]. SB is, therefore, one of the main contributors to students’ academicsuccess, persistence, and overall well-being. The literature reports that the lack of SB isperceived differently by different student groups and is critical for underrepresented students(e.g., first-generation and low socioeconomic status) to persist in college after the first year ofstudy [6].

Permissive parents indulge child autonomyover behavioral regulation, while uninvolved parents provide general neglect and disengagement.Several research studies have examined the relationship between parenting styles and career-decision making and career self-efficacy (Guay et al., 2003; Sovet & Metz, 2014). In another line of research, Kincaid et al.

multidimensional theory that considered both a person’s beliefs abouttheir success and potential value of the outcome could be created [14]. At a high-level, EVTposits that a person’s motivation is a combination of two primary factors: their expectations ofsuccess (the expectancy) as well as the worth or importance attached to the outcome (the value)[15]. The expectancy half of a person’s motivation is a combination of a person’s self-efficacy,expectancies, self-concept, perceived control over a situation, and the attributions associated withan outcome, whereas the value portion considers their psychological needs, the intrinsic vs.extrinsic value of the outcome, the utility of the outcome, as well as its cost [14].

Motivation and self-efficacy are foundational concepts of Self Determination Theory [16][17][18], and video’s potential to enhance them in sports may be transferrable to other types ofself-development and growth. In higher education, role-model videos have been suggested tohave a positive effect on the retention of students historically under-represented in STEM,particularly when the role models discuss their personal transitions to college or the work force[19] or navigating STEM education as an historically under-represented minority [20].
