Some thoughts
editExpectation may differ from person to person. Everybody in the world has some expectations. Expectations increases creativeness of a person. An Expectation may or may not be realistic. Expectation has its own merits and demerits. If something expected happened it is a surprise else it is a disappointment. Always, try to expect more to get things done. An expectation is something we look forward to happening. Example, "I expect you to graduate from high school on time." This is saying that I look forward to seeing you graduate on time. Example, "I expect you to find a job and support yourself." This means I look forward to seeing you get a job and start supporting yourself.

Anyone care about this article?
editMy expectation was that this would redirect to expected value. The value of THIS article is, as I see it, very little. A redirect would be better. Graft | talk 20:21, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the 'see also' section is very useful if you want to look something up related to expectations, but you don't know the name of what you're looking for. You need somewhere to start searching, and this page is one of those good starting points. VDZ (talk) 20:17, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
"See also" list
editWhile I do support the existence of this article, I don't really see the point of at least half of the "see also" links. (I mean, seriously, "Charm"? "Evil eye"??) How about a big cleanup of these? Nieske 09:02, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Undue weight
editStruck a strangely lengthy (double the size of all other prose) section dedicated to coverage of some likely non-notable 1991 scholarly text. No harm in revisiting the topic in a less bulky format after expanding the article as a whole, but please do not rv - Would be little different from spamming.

– According to Cambridge Dictionary, the primary meaning of "expectation" refers to the psychological concept of anticipating something to happen. The other entries listed on the disambiguation page have a more specific names like expectation–maximization algorithm. Therefore, it seems logical to move the psychological concept to the more concise title, which would also resolve another issue: the parenthetical addition. Typically, we use a noun as a disambiguator (e.g., anticipation (genetics), stress (mechanics)) rather than adjectives. Additionally, it’s challenging to attribute this concept to a single scientific field—whether psychology, philosophy, or epistemology—so how should we specify it? For all other meanings, we can simply just add a disambiguation hatnote to the lead of the current expectation (epistemic) page. –Tobias (talk) 20:19, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
