Cover Story: Academic motivation frameworks have called for greater attention to the situational milieu embedded in motivational theories. This study examines how motivation values in STEM develop through responsibilities to one's family (financial and caregiving) and self-perceptions of academic ability. Utilizing a robust methodology, this study investigates academic efficacy as a mediator of two family-related obligations on the values related to the utility of a STEM degree. This longitudinal study involving 1,571 college students from two diverse public research institutions finds that academic efficacy diminishes the role of caregiving obligations. In contrast, financial obligations affect utility values indirectly through self-efficacy. The implications for future research are also discussed. View this paper
