social exchange theory
essentially entails a weighing of the costs and rewards in a given relationship
When we do not receive the outcomes or rewards that we think we deserve, then we may negatively evaluate the relationship
we are all aware of the balance of costs and rewards at some point in our relationships
interdependence
satisfaction is high or the relationship meets important needs
the alternatives are not good, meaning the person’s needs couldn’t be met without the relationship
investment in the relationship is high, meaning that resources might decrease or be lost without the relationship
