      ab: This study examines the influence of perceived social presence on online graduate students' value and expectancy beliefs. Forty‐nine participants enrolled in an online teacher leadership graduate program completed questionnaires that measured perceived social presence and value and expectancy beliefs. A series of simple linear regression analyses revealed that social presence positively predicted students' value for online learning. Social presence did not predict participants' expectations of future success in teacher leadership. Results partially supported the assumption of the expectancy‐value model that motivational beliefs are influenced by the information students receive from social partners. Moreover, the study tested and confirmed the application of the model in online settings and for students pursuing graduate education. Lay Description: What is already known about this topic: Value and expectancy motivational beliefs are influenced by perceptions of the classroom social climate.In online learning environments, social presence characterizes the classroom social climate.Existing studies mostly examine the social determinants of value and expectancy beliefs of children in K‐12 face‐to‐face educational settings.The role of social presence in shaping value and expectancy beliefs in fully online graduate programs needs more empirical attention. What this paper adds: A study that examined the impact of social presence on value and expectancy beliefs of online students pursuing graduate education.Social presence predicts value beliefs in online graduate students.Social presence is a social determinant of motivational beliefs. Implications for practice and/or policy: Promotes more careful attention to social presence and motivation in online graduate programs.Identifies social presence as a legitimate social precursor to value and expectancy beliefs.Broadens the scope of research on social determinants of motivational beliefs.
