Stability

Balance Theory :silhouettes:
▲ Regulation :smiley: of positive / negative behaviours is key to stability of relationship
▲ Regulated Couples : patterns of emotions are balanced & predictable
▲ Validating Couples : stable & free from undue conflict
▲ UnRegulated Couples : :red_cross: unbalanced and unpredictable > lower satisfaction, less positive affect, severe problems 👾
Social Exchange Theories :silhouettes:
► Satisfaction arises as a result of a cost-benefit analysis underlying the relationship 💑
► Stages : Sampling > Bargaining > Commitment > Institutionalization
► If costs > rewards - relationship ends
► If rewards > costs - relationship continues
