Expectations are probabilistic beliefs about the future that shape and influence our
perception, affect, cognition, and behavior in many contexts. This makes expectations
a highly relevant concept across basic and applied psychological disciplines. When
expectations are confirmed or violated, individuals can respond by either updating or
maintaining their prior expectations in light of the new evidence. Moreover, proactive
and reactive behavior can change the probability with which individuals encounter
expectation confirmations or violations. The investigation of predictors and mechanisms
underlying expectation update and maintenance has been approached from many
research perspectives. However, in many instances there has been little exchange
between different research fields. To further advance research on expectations and
expectation violations, collaborative efforts across different disciplines in psychology,
cognitive (neuro)science, and other life sciences are warranted. For fostering and
facilitating such efforts, we introduce the ViolEx 2.0 model, a revised framework
for interdisciplinary research on cognitive and behavioral mechanisms of expectation
update and maintenance in the context of expectation violations. To support different
goals and stages in interdisciplinary exchange, the ViolEx 2.0 model features three
model levels with varying degrees of specificity in order to address questions about
the research synopsis, central concepts, or functional processes and relationships,
respectively. The framework can be applied to different research fields and has high
potential for guiding collaborative research efforts in expectation research.
