In this article, we systematically reviewed the research literature dealing with expectancy-value motivation theory within music contexts. Employing the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach, a total of 1,120 records were retrieved and examined, with 110 eventually included in the analyses. Frequencies/percentages were generated for research output in 5-year time periods, type of publication, sampling locations, and methodologies. Summaries of all 110 records were provided; content analyses on topics covered were also conducted. Findings indicated a clear increase in research interest over the past 15 years with quantitative methodologies being twice as prevalent as qualitative approaches. While the vast majority (97.7%) of quantitative research employed self-report questionnaires, the most common form of qualitative data collection was interviews (59.1%). Salient topics covered included students’ expectancy-value beliefs across music and other school subjects, continued music participation, intentions to pursue a career in music, and parental influences.

在本文中，我们系统地回顾了在音乐背景下处理期望价值动机理论的研究文献。采用 PRISMA（系统评价和元分析的首选报告项目）方法，总共检索和检查了 1,120 条记录，其中 110 条最终纳入分析。频率/百分比是为 5 年时间段内的研究成果、出版物类型、抽样地点和方法生成的。提供了所有 110 条记录的摘要；还对所涉主题进行了内容分析。结果表明，在过去 15 年中，研究兴趣明显增加，定量方法是定性方法的两倍。虽然绝大多数（97.7%）的定量研究采用了自我报告问卷，最常见的定性数据收集形式是访谈（59.1%）。涵盖的突出主题包括学生对音乐和其他学校科目的期望值信念、持续的音乐参与、追求音乐事业的意图以及父母的影响。
