Expectancy–value theory posits that higher levels of utility‐value yield better achievement outcomes. Much of the existing research on utility value has focused on the individual as the unit of analysis. Person–culture fit theory, however, suggests that it is also important to consider the fit between the person and the broader society one is embedded in. The greater the fit, the more optimal outcomes ensue. However, to our knowledge past studies have not examined utility value from a person–culture fit perspective.

社会层面的效用值加强了学生层面的效用值与成就之间的关系：个人文化契合的视角

期望价值理论认为，更高水平的效用价值会产生更好的成就结果。许多关于效用价值的现有研究都将个人作为分析单位。然而，个人文化契合理论表明，考虑个人与个人所处的更广泛社会之间的契合度也很重要。契合度越大，结果就越理想。然而，据我们所知，过去的研究并没有从个人与文化契合的角度考察效用价值。
