  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The intraindividual process of study
    dropout, from forming dropout intention to deregistration, is of motivational
    nature. Yet typical studies investigate interindividual differences, which do
    not inform about intraindividual processes. Our study focused on the intraindividual
    process of forming dropout intention, and applied expectancy-value theory to analyze
    its motivational underpinnings. To expand research, we considered associations
    of intraindividual deviations in expectancy, intrinsic value, attainment value,
    utility value, and cost to intraindividual deviations in dropout intention. A
    total of 326 undergraduate students of law and mathematics rated motivational
    variables and dropout intention three times from semester start to the final exam
    period. Multilevel regression analyses revealed that intraindividual changes in
    intrinsic value, attainment, and cost, but not in expectancy and utility, related
    to intraindividual changes in dropout intention. Further, we considered students’
    demographics as moderators. Only age moderated the association between intrinsic
    value and dropout intention. Our results stress the crucial role of certain value
    components, including cost, for emerging dropout intention.</jats:p>
