  10. Social Exchange Theory

  11. What is Social Exchange theory? • This theory explains social change and stability as a process of negotiated exchanges between parties. • all human relationships are formed by the use of a subjective cost-benefit analysis and the comparison of alternatives. • For example, when a person perceives the costs of a relationship as outweighing the perceived benefits, then the theory predicts that the person will choose to leave the relationship.

  12. What is Social Exchange theory? Social Exchange theory explains how we feel about a relationship with another person as depending on our perceptions of: • The balance between what we put into the relationship and what we get out of it. • The kind of relationship we deserve. • The chances of having a better relationship with someone else.
