Social Exchange Theory

The video discusses social exchange theory, which uses an economic metaphor to explain human behavior in relationships. It covers the concepts of costs and rewards, and how they influence decisions to maintain or leave relationships. Additional concepts from Griffin's book, such as the minimax principle and comparison levels, are also explored. The theory suggests that people seek to maximize rewards and minimize costs, and decisions are influenced by available alternatives.
