Relationships
- Formation of Relationships 1
- Byrne and Clore,
1970. Reward/Need
Satisfaction Model
- We are attracted to individuals
that do meet our needs and
expectations. If positive feelings
outweighed the negatives were
most likely to succeed
- We could be indirectly rewarded
through classical conditioning as
some individuals may provide
pleasant circumstances or pleasant
events occur around them.
- Positive moods experienced
when meeting individuals
may become associated with
them too thus increasing
likelihood of attraction
- The positives the individual brings resulting
in pleasant feelings become associated with
the person themselves.
- Positive moods experienced
when meeting individuals
may become associated with
them too thus increasing
likelihood of attraction
- Operant conditioning could occur
where an individual is positively
reinforced with the potential
partner offering pleasant stimuli
- The potential partner may
provide for social needs
such as friendship or sex,
furthering the likelihood of
a relationship developing

Relationships 2
- Walster et al. Matching Hypothesis
- People who were in similar levels of
attraction, intelligence and social
standing were more inclined to form
relationships with each other.
- People pair themselves with others based on their
own sense of value and they look for partners with
similar qualities
- The more socially desirable a person is in terms of
physical attraction, social standing and intelligence etc,
the more desirable they would expect their potential
partner to be
- People who were in similar levels of
attraction, intelligence and social
standing were more inclined to form
relationships with each other.

Maintenance 1
- Thibaut and Kelley. Social Exchange Theory
- The goal of the relationship is
to maximise rewards and
minimise costs where the
best possible outcome for a
relationship is sought.
- 4 stages in the
development of
long-term relationships
based on their model
- In sampling, a variety of relationships are
evaluated until one is selected, then bargaining
occurs with them identifying sources of profit
and loss within that one relationship.
- Thirdly commitment comes where the exchange of
rewards becomes predictable. Finally institutionalisation,
where interactions have been fully established.
- Underlying the four stages, individuals have
comparison levels where they consider previous and
other peoples relationships against their own as well
as a comparison level for alternatives where they
compare their relationship with other possibilities.

Maintenance 2
- Walster. Equity Theory
- Extends on the social exchange theory.
- 1) Individuals maximise rewards and
minimise negative experiences
- 2) Couples negotiate
distribution of rewards
- 3) If the relationship is
inequitable, dissatisfaction is
produced
- 4) If the person losing out thinks there is an
opportunity to restore fairness they may try to
re-establish equity, where the larger the feeling
of inequity the more effort it is to realign.
